World Cultural Festival – Joining hands with people in flood-affected areas

The first World Cultural Festival in Hanoi will be held from October 10-12, 2025 at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel Heritage Center - a World Cultural Heritage recognized by UNESCO.

Compassionate journey towards communities heavily affected by natural disasters

The event is a place where culture connects hearts and compassion has no borders. Where culture joins in responding to global challenges, including climate change. With the spirit of "Connecting - Sharing - Spreading love".

The first World Cultural Festival in Hanoi took place with the participation of many international friends, artists, social organizations, businesses and Vietnamese people. Specifically, it gathered 48 participating countries with 45 national cultural spaces, 34 international culinary booths, 23 domestic and foreign art troupes, 12 units introducing books and publications, 22 countries participating in the international film screening program.

The event is not only a friendly meeting of cultures around the world, but also a humanitarian journey towards communities heavily affected by natural disasters, demonstrating the spirit of international solidarity in solving common global challenges, including the issue of climate change, which no country can stand aside from.

Honoring cultural diversity and humanistic spirit

At the Festival, colorful cultural spaces are vividly recreated: from traditional Asian - European dances, international costumes and cuisine displays, to unique Vietnamese art performances with the message "The world beats together with love".

In particular, the charity auction and donation program attracted a strong response. All funds raised will be transferred to localities affected by floods, to support the reconstruction of houses, schools and civil works.

The World Culture Festival not only celebrates cultural diversity, but also demonstrates the spirit of humanity – when people, regardless of language or skin color, still share a heart of sharing and solidarity, joining hands to heal the world, for a better life.

The event space closed with the image of hundreds of lit candles, symbolizing the light of humanity, empathy and belief in a brighter future.

The World Culture Festival – a bridge of culture, art and humanity – continues to affirm the message: "When culture connects, the world joins hands, no challenge cannot be overcome, for a sustainable future for everyone".
