At Hoang Cau Stadium in O Cho Dua ward, a fair featuring around 100 standard booths has been organised. The event includes areas for showcasing and introducing typical commercial products, promoting OCOP (One Commune One Product) items, and displaying handicrafts and traditional craft village products, alongside decorative installations and photo booths. A wide range of enterprises from Ha Noi and other provinces and cities nationwide are taking part.

Meanwhile, a similar 30-booth shopping event is underway at Phung Khoang Park in Dai Mo ward. Visitors to the programme can experience distinctive cultural features reflected in typical products from Ha Noi and provinces across the country.
