This year’s festival will feature many creative innovations that are expected to attract large numbers of visitors.

The festival is a practical activity recognising the country’s achievements during the renewal process as well as highlighting the strong development of Vietnamese revolutionary press.

Spring and typical publications in 2022 and early 2023 will be displayed at the press festival.

Notably, a space will be arranged for thematic booths. In addition, there will also be areas for the central and local press agencies as well as pavilions for Journalists’ Associations of the provinces and cities, press training agencies, and units providing equipment for the production of radio, television and multimedia programmes.

A wide variety of seminars, exchanges, forums, and exhibitions will also be held during the festival.

The organisers also selected and voted many press awards such as "Impressive Tet Newspaper Cover", "Impressive Online Newspaper Interface" and "Impressive radio and television programme”. In addition, the 2023 Press Impression Award will be granted to an individual and organisation that organise attractive and impressive events within the framework of the Press Festival.

Notably, on the occasion of this year’s National Press Festival, various traditional cultural activities, such as the introduction of pho (noodle soup), calligraphy festival, the exhibition and performances of making non (conical hat), will also be held.
