Hosted by the Quang Ninh Department of Tourism in coordination with the BIM Group, the three-day event is the first of a series of events to stimulate domestic tourism in Quang Ninh this year.

Themed “Heritage Spring Festival”, the fest offers visitors a chance to experience the unique indigenous cultural values across four cultural spaces: border - mountainous areas; cultural - history - spirituality; heritage; and seas and islands.

The festival brings together nearly 100 booths displaying rich local cuisine as well as featuring many other cultural and sporting activities such as folk games, a grand concert, traditional folk repertoires and contemporary music performed on the street with the participation of 100 artists from Quang Ninh and Hanoi.
