After five seasons, the Belgian Culture and Food Festival B.Fest 2026 will come to Quang Ninh for the first time, opening up a space for Vietnamese-Belgian cultural exchange in Quang Ninh city. With the theme "Heritage within Heritage," the festival creates a meeting point between the unique cultural values of Belgium and the heritage space of Ha Long.
The highlight of B.Fest 2026 is the fusion of Belgian culture with the beauty of Ha Long Bay – a World Natural Heritage site. Through cuisine, art, and experiential activities, the festival contributes to introducing the distinctive features of Belgian culture to locals and tourists, while expanding the space for cultural exchange and connection between the two countries.
With over 50 years of presence in Vietnam, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium has played a bridging role, promoting Vietnam-Belgium cooperation in many fields such as economics, politics, culture, education, and health. The first-ever B.Fest held in Quang Ninh further contributes to bringing Belgian cultural exchange activities closer to the people and tourists in one of Vietnam's major tourist centers.
In the journey of connecting Belgium and Vietnam, DEEP C is one of the Belgian businesses with long-standing investments in Vietnam, and it also participates in promoting economic and cultural connections between the two sides. The company's partnership contributes to adding depth to B.Fest, transforming it from a cultural and culinary event into a space for business, partners, and the community to meet.
At B.Fest 2026, visitors can participate in the Passport Journey – a journey to explore the festival's activities; experience bartender performances, interactive games, check-in at the iconic The Iconic Ship, explore the food court, photobooth, and participate in creative recycling workshops. The activities are designed to be highly interactive, allowing visitors to directly participate, complete challenges, and receive prizes.
Bringing B.Fest to Quang Ninh not only expands the scope of a European-style cultural and culinary festival, but also creates more opportunities for locals, tourists, and the business community to meet, learn about each other's cultures, expand connections, and promote future cooperation opportunities between Vietnam and Belgium.
