If SUSF 2023 made its mark with the theme “Head Out Of The Original,” igniting creativity and encouraging art to break past its own boundaries, then SUSF 2024 brought a more introspective resonance with its message “Be Love Be Free.”

This year, SUSF 2025 continues that journey with the theme “Be Vietnam” – a tribute to and celebration of the Vietnamese spirit within the flow of cultural exchange. It is where local identity meets the breath of global integration, where heritage harmonizes with modernity to shape a Vietnam that is creative, youthful, and full of life.

Drawing inspiration from Saigon’s ever-moving energy, SUSF 2025 chooses electricity as its symbol – representing the fast-paced, dynamic, and breakthrough mindset of the younger generation. The four key colors of SUSF 2025 — purple pink, yellow, white, and black — blend with familiar Vietnamese street textures such as layered electric-post flyers, encaustic cement tiles, and sidewalk patterns, forming a visual identity infused with urban vitality and modern spirit.

The festival brings a series of distinctive activities:

URBAN ZONE:
Enjoy a live painting performance by Nguyễn Công Danh, champion of the artLIVE Graffiti Championship 2024, and explore interactive booths with exciting gifts from brands like Savouré Bakery and Baby Sumo Kō. Visitors can also join workshops in lacquer art, jewelry making, keychain crafting, clay modeling, and more.

URBAN STAGE:
A space dedicated to traditional folk games such as tug-of-war, alongside a vibrant music showcase inspired by Spotify Wrapped 2025, featuring special guests and high-quality live acoustic performances.

CHECK-IN: Strike your best poses at the photo zones and join lucky-draw minigames to win event merchandise (socks, caps, stickers).

For its return this year, SUSF 2025 also presents the artLIVE Breaking Championship (ABC) — a space where all dancers share the same Breaking spirit, whether you come from Popping, Hip Hop, Locking, Waacking, Krump, or any other style. The competition features a panel of three judges: Alexander Tú, Khánh Thi, MC Buck, along with a special guest judge — B-Boy Choco from Taiwan.

ABC 2025 promises to become a convergence point for all street dance styles, creating a shared playground that fosters creativity, encourages bold experimentation, and reignites passion for the art of street culture.
