The highlight of the three-day event will be decorative lights made of conical hats, set up both inside and outside the festival venue, creating a lively and intimate atmosphere for the visitors.

A space will be specifically dedicated to displaying images and documents about the history of the Ao dai.

The event is also expected to introduce the cultural heritage of Vietnam’s 1,000-year-old capital to both domestic visitors and international friends via its platform and various activities.
