The performances will feature more than 40 Vietnamese and international musicians such as Germany-based DJ Plastik Funk, Vietnamese pop star My Tam, rappers Binz and Karik, and singers Truc Nhan and Mono.
The festival also introduces a multimedia exhibition “See Your Tet Sound” showcasing 15 artworks by 22 artists from Thailand, Australia, the US and Vietnam.
The event offers a visual art performance “Sai Gon Sinfonietta in Tet” by Tung “Monkey” – a visionary founder of The Visual084, a collective of talented designers and artists united by their shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of visual culture.
The artist and Visual084 members use 3D mapping technology to recreate the atmosphere of welcoming the Tet of southern people.
The festival also presents traditional games such as human chess and lotto shows, an art market, and a fair introducing Vietnamese agricultural products.
The “City Tet Fest - Thu Duc 2025” is co-organized by the Thu Duc municipal People’s Committee and its partner, Vietnam Brand Purpose.
Nguyen Thanh Giang, Vietnam Brand Purpose CEO, said the festival is not only an entertainment event but also an opportunity to promote culture, strengthen connections among communities, and become a driving force for Thu Duc and HCM City’s sustainable development.
She hoped the event will become an annual signature event of Thu Duc, bringing long-term economic, social and cultural benefits to the city.
The five-day festival is taking place at Saigon Riverside Park.
