World Cultures Festival in Hanoi: Highlights from October
From October 10 to 12, the first World Cultures Festival lit up the Thăng Long Imperial Citadel - a colorful, free-entry event filled with culture, connection, and creativity. As culture and food lovers, we couldn’t miss this event!
With 34 international food stalls and 45 cultural spaces, visitors got to “travel the world by taste and sight” right in the heart of Hanoi. From silk weaving and lacquer painting to folk performances and world cuisine, the festival celebrated the beauty of diversity.
One of the highlights was the striking “Bước chân Di sản” Áo Dài show - nearly 100 stunning designs presented under 3D mapping lights that brought the ancient citadel to life. Even more heartwarming, the showcased Áo Dài and other cultural items were auctioned, raising nearly 2.5 billion VND to support communities affected by recent floods in northern Vietnam. 💛
We can’t wait to see more events like the World Cultures Festival in Hanoi in the future.

Xin chào! I’m Dung, but many travellers call me Emma. I grew up on the outskirts of Hanoi, and no matter how far I travel, this busy and slightly chaotic city still feels most like home.
I’ve explored Vietnam on my own and with the people I love, while also spending years volunteering and joining community projects. Along the way, I’ve collected plenty of stories, local tips and unforgettable moments. I share them here to help you feel closer to Hanoi and Vietnam, hopefully even before you arrive.
You can also find me on Facebook. Come and say hi!
