The festival was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Vietnam's membership in UNESCO. It not only showcases the diverse cultures of Vietnam and other countries around the world but also serves as a space for cultural dialogue, where each nation brings its own unique values and finds common ground amidst diversity.
According to Deputy Minister Ta Quang Dong, the greatest value of an international cultural event lies not only in the programs organized but also in the encounters, new understandings, and relationships formed as a result. "Each culture present in Hanoi will add a unique color to the overall picture, giving the festival its vitality."
Providing details about the event, Director of the Department of International Cooperation Nguyen Phuong Hoa said that the festival will take place from October 1-4 at Thang Long Imperial Citadel , bringing together 50 countries, international organizations, and businesses. This is an opportunity for cultures to meet, exchange, and share unique values, while promoting the image of Vietnam, the capital city of Hanoi, and the country's cultural values and heritage to international friends.
Furthermore, the festival continues to promote the spirit of exchange, connection, and collaborative creativity through culture. The activities are designed to create a vibrant cultural space where countries showcase their unique identities, heritage, and cultural values, while also opening up new opportunities for cooperation in the fields of culture, arts, tourism, and creative industries.
The second World Culture Festival in Hanoi features 45 cultural spaces, 35 food stalls, a film screening program with participation from 18 countries, a fashion space with traditional costumes submitted by 19 countries, and the participation of 20 international art troupes, promising to create multicultural musical exchange spaces.
Within the framework of the Festival, the "Spreading Creativity from Heritage - International Games Festival" area offers a new experiential space, connecting historical and cultural values with technology and creative industries. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in collaboration with Vietnamese businesses, introduces, releases, and operates video games inspired by Vietnamese history and culture, creating opportunities for the public to directly experience and explore heritage through modern interactive forms, cosplay performances, dance routines from the Audition game, and LED screen effects, opening up a youthful, vibrant, and attractive experiential space at the Festival.
