About ALADDA
ALADDA is a registered not-for-profit charitible association dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural art of lion and dragon dance across Australia. More than performance, ALADDA fosters youth development, educational engagement, and community integration by providing young people with platforms to build confidence, discipline, and cross-cultural connections.
Our mission is to connect communities through culture, support youth through education and mentorship, and empower local talent by showcasing this ancient and vibrant art form to a wider Australian audience.

Event Highlights
This gala will feature a special performance by Hong Teck Sports Association – Australia, showcasing the decades of tradition, discipline, and world-class artistry honed by their youth teams — many of whom have competed on the international stage.
The event is also a networking platform, welcoming local and national businesses, community leaders, and supporters to celebrate cultural diversity, engage with our youth, and build lasting partnerships.

Supporting a Greater Cause
This event is not just a celebration — it’s a fundraiser. Proceeds will support two registered charities:
1. ALADDA – Furthering youth development, arts, multicultural engagement, integrating Asian community into Australian community and businesses.
2. AEIOU Foundation – Providing early intervention therapy and tailored support for children with autism and their families. AEIOU’s mission is to give every child the best opportunity to reach their full potential, bridging gaps where public systems fall short. Learn more at aeiou.org.au

We want to be adding value to not only the youth that the association was built for, but to all. The first offer we have is everyone that buys a ticket, you can take our ticket to Oscar Hunt Brisbane, and get 15% off their tailored suits. We thank Oscar Hunt for their sponsorship and our friend Lo Vinh. This is a major and never seen before discount by Oscar Hunt, the discount alone is worth more than the ticket.

We look forward to seeing you at this unforgettable evening of culture, community and celebrations
