This is the third year the festival has been organized, offering visitors opportunities to taste popular Vietnamese dishes and fruits. This year, visitors can also enjoy contemporary music, with the excitement of electronic music, pop and rap, performed by French-Vietnamese DJ-beatmakers.
They can also find books, meet with writers, and play Vietnamese folk games. On this occasion, Vinfast, a subsidiary carmaker of Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, displayed its latest electric vehicles.
According to Jérôme Tham Vo My, a member of the festival’s organizing committee, in 2022, the one-day festival attracted nearly 10,000 visitors.
He hopes that with the participation of about 30 businesses, this year's event would attract more visitors than last year.
Ngo Minh Duong, owner of Thanh Binh Jeunes supermarket chain, said that the products he brought here were all from Vietnam, such as sugarcane juice, coconut water, lychee, mango, coffee, and tea.
