Visitors are eager to receive calligraphic works.

This year’s festival will feature 40 calligraphers from Hanoi and many other provinces and cities around the country.

The year 2024 marks the tenth edition of the spring calligraphy festival. Through calligraphic works, the calligraphers have spread the good values of the nation's culture.

A calligrapher is writing.

Within the framework of the festival, a calligraphy exhibition displays 50 calligraphic works in the front yard and 50 works around Van Lake.

The exhibition uses light and writing to create an attractive visual art installation space for viewers. It was conceptualised, built, designed, arranged and displayed by calligrapher Xuan Nhu Vu Thanh Tung.

In addition to calligraphy writing, a wide variety of activities are held during the festival, including the reproduction of the traditional exam space, the introduction of craft villages and products, and traditional art programmes.

The festival will last until February 19.
