World Cultural Festival in Hanoi: A symphony of cultural colors and friendship

Taking place from October 10-12, 2025, the World Culture Festival in Hanoi, organized for the first time by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Hanoi People's Committee, brings together 48 countries, 45 cultural spaces, 34 food stalls, 23 art troupes, 12 publishing units, and 22 countries participating in the international film screening program. This is a record number in the history of cultural exchange activities in Vietnam.

With the theme “Culture is the foundation - Art is the means”, the festival is positioned as a “colorful festival” - where culture becomes a common language connecting humanity. Here, melodies, colors, flavors and emotions harmonize in the open space of Thang Long Imperial Citadel - the symbol of the thousand-year-old civilization of the Capital, a World Cultural Heritage recognized by UNESCO.
