A virtual exhibition about Mid-autumn Festival to be organized in Hanoi

Starting September 19, 2025, the Thang Long Imperial Citadel in Hanoi will host a virtual exhibition celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, marking one of Vietnam's most cherished traditional holidays.

Often referred to as the "Children's Festival," the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a significant occasion that brings families together, allowing them to enjoy intimate meals, gather around beautifully arranged fruit trays, and marvel at the luminous full moon.

Under the theme "Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion," the virtual exhibition will showcase a variety of photos, paintings, and short videos celebrating the Full Moon Festival. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore a traditional feast setup as enjoyed by Hanoians in the early 20th century, as well as learn about the craftsmanship behind traditional toys made by talented artisans, including paper lanterns and masks.

The online event will be accessible through two websites: hoangthanhthanglong.vn and trungbayonline.hoangthanhthanglong.vn, and will be presented in both Vietnamese and English. The participation of historian Mr. Le Van Lan and artisan Mrs. Quach Thi Bac is set to provide fascinating insights and stories about this beloved festival.

This exhibition not only deepens the audience's understanding of the festival's significance but also ensures a vibrant and joyful Mid-Autumn celebration as we continue to embrace the spirit of community and tradition.
