The Hanoi People's Committee has just issued a plan to organise the second Hanoi Autumn Festival 2024.
Hanoi Autumn Festival 2024, with the theme "Hanoi Autumn - Historic Autumn", is held on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the capital city's Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 - October 10, 2024), aiming to promote both the capital’s autumn destinations and tourism products.
The festival will open on September 13 with a music gala, held at the flower garden area of Ba Kieu Temple, with the function focusing on the 70th anniversary of the Capital Liberation Day, on October 10.
The festival's highlights include a display of 150 stalls showcasing an array of products from trade villages, special dishes, and gifts during the fall season. They will be organised on the old iconic streets situated around Hoan Kiem Lake, including Dinh Tien Hoang and Le Thach streets, as well as the Octagonal House area.
The highlight of the festival will be a re-enactment of local people waving flags and flowers, to welcome the victorious army on Capital Liberation Day on October 10, 1954.
Visitors will also be treated to mesmerising dance performances, including both folk and sports dances, along with a fashion show featuring the elegant Ao Dai (traditional long dress).
Young attendees will have the opportunity to participate in parades, engage in painting activities, and visit exhibitions displaying children’s artwork.
In addition, a space introducing Hanoi’s annual flowers, and an entertainment area, will get underway, with the occasion seeking to showcase the distinctive values of cultural heritage around the capital.
