The auditorium at the Band Academy Singapore recently filled with a crowd who came for a live concert called Hanoi in Me jointly held by the Vietnamese Embassy and community there, with the goal of raising funds for the upcoming mid-autumn festival for children.

It holds records for three times for having the largest traditional lantern models shown on the mid-autumn night, the largest tray of offerings and the largest pair of revolving lanterns (đèn kéo quân) for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Alongside reputable businesses producing safe products, there are still some organisations and individuals secretly introducing illicit sweets into the market, with unclear origins.

With a desire to bring joy on the Mid-Autumn Festival to little ones in shelters in HCM City, a group of students from the School of Tourism - Restaurant - Hotel Management at Hoa Sen University organised a fundraising music night called "Moonlit Night".

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month which falls on September 29 this year, is a festival of love and sharing, and also an opportunity for adults to remind themselves to pay more attention to children with love, responsibility and practical actions, President Võ Văn Thưởng wrote.

The second edition of a painting contest honouring Vietnamese cultural heritage will be launched at the beginning of September.

An art tourism map of Đà Lạt, a resort city in the Central Highlands province of Lâm Đồng, was launched on August 29 to serve visitors and local residents’ demand.

A series of cultural activities and art shows will be organised in HCM City to celebrate the 79th anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945-2024)

Ngon Garden Restaurant at 70 Nguyễn Du Street is a popular destination for Hanoians and people from surrounding provinces.

According to the organisers, the festival’s activities will transport children to realms of dreams, magical narratives and future aspirations. In doing so, they will play a vital role in shaping Vietnamese character and safeguarding our cherished national cultural identity.

Nearly 200 archive documents and photos on the central city from the past and now are on display at an exhibition – From Hàn River estuary to liveable Đà Nẵng City – at the city’s administration centre.

Artist Sophie Trịnh has her first solo exhibition at the Việt Nam Fine Arts Association Exhibition Hall.

The central province of Thừa Thiên – Huế will organise a wide range of exciting sports, recreational, and entertainment activities, and diversify tourism products to attract visitors during this year's National Day holiday, which will last from August 31 to September 3.

The highlight of the week is the art programme 'Passionate Date Night' on the evening of September 1 in Mộc Châu District, along with a street parade involving 200 artisans and actors performing folk songs, dances and playing traditional musical instruments of different ethnic groups in the district.
