Following the opening ceremony An Dinh palace on Friday night, a cycling event called "Ao dai through the streets" on Saturday will promote environmental awareness. Participants will follow a scenic route past historical landmarks and tourist attractions on both sides of the Huong (Perfume) river. Later that day, the "Ao dai returns to the source" program will take place at King Minh Mang’s tomb.

On Saturday evening, an art performance called “Ao dai – embracing the beauty of the ancient capital" will be held at the Thuan Hoa district Culture and Sports Center. On Sunday, the "Ao dai colors – my joy" festival will take place at the community space in front of Hue National University and the nearby pedestrian bridge over the Huong River.

A Vietnamese costume parade, expected to be the largest yet, will involve thousands of participants dressed in traditional costumes from Vietnam’s three regions.

There will be a space showcasing the making of traditional ao dai, a workshop on ao dai in schools, and an exhibition of paintings from a contest for children themed “Ao dai and childhood”.

A celebration honoring Lord Nguyen Phuc Khoat and King Minh Mang, two historical figures who played key roles in establishing the ao dai as Vietnam's national costume, will be held at the Hue Imperial Citadel Heritage Site.

Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Hue municipal Department of Culture and Sports, said: "This is a true community event where local residents are both the organizers and participants. The activities of Ao Dai Week make the ao dai of Hue a trend throughout the community."

First organized in 2020, Hue Community Ao Dai Week celebrating the cultural richness of the ancient capital has reinforced the “Hue – capital of ao dai” brand.
