More than 40 artisans from traditional craft villages in Hoi An and Hanoi directly guided visitors to make lanterns, Thanh Ha pottery, and Kim Bong wooden products.
Visitors also had a chance to enjoy folk singing performances such as: Sac bua singing (Tet greeting), Ba trao singing (the traditional singing by fishermen in Quang Nam), and Bai choi singing (a popular folklore style of singing in central provinces).

Notably, tourists can also taste specialties of Hoi An and Quang Nam such as Mi Quang (Quang noodles), Cao lau noodles, Banh hoa hong (white rose cake), and others.
A highlight of the programme was the space recreating the ancient town Hoi An at the museum campus with lanterns and ancient houses in addition to the performances of traditional crafts and folk games.

“This is the second time the museum has coordinated with Hoi An to hold this event. We hope that these diverse activities will create a unique Hoi An cultural space, conveying the culture from Quang Nam land to everyone,” said Dr. Bui Ngoc Quang, deputy director of the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology.
