From Europe to Asia, the Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival 2025 was celebrated in vibrant and heart-warming gatherings that united overseas Vietnamese communities, evoking the warmth of home under the same full moon.

On a vibrant Sunday at the La Phù village communal house, Hà Nội City held a grand ceremony to present the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Certificate to this cherished festival.

This year's scholarship recipients are disadvantaged students from various communes in Tuyên Quang Province, including orphans, who exhibit a strong spirit of resilience and a commitment to advancing their education and improving their lives.

The event aims to honour authentic musical expression, enrich the spirit, and celebrate Hà Nội’s cultural legacy.

Three outstanding films about Hà Nội will be screened at Ngọc Khánh Cinema, located on Kim Mã Street, Hà Nội, from October 8-10, to celebrate the 71st anniversary of the liberation of the capital city (October 10, 1954 - October 10, 2025).

The Unicorn-Lion-Dragon Dance Art Museum is expected to become a new cultural landmark in Đà Nẵng, contributing to the preservation and promotion of Việt Nam's folk heritage while enriching the experience of international and domestic tourists.

The collection initially featured fewer than 100 books, mostly contributed by members of the Vietnamese community. Today, it has grown to include over 500 volumes spanning language, culture, history, geography, medicine, and science.

Vietnamese artists' participation contributed to promoting the diversity of Asian culture to international audiences.

This initiative will offer visitors not only the chance to observe and participate in heritage practices but also to immerse themselves in the cultural and historical spaces of the Chăm people.

Traditional handmade items now account for 70-80 per cent of the market, including star-shaped lanterns, drums, masks, lion heads, rotating lanterns and fish- or rabbit-shaped hanging lanterns.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a beautiful expression of Vietnam’s traditional cultural values, preserved and passed down through generations.

A lantern parade through the ancient streets on October 6 is expected to spread festive cheer across the town.

An exhibition in HCM City now showcases  25 artworks, mostly large-scale abstract oil paintings, by the late artist Lâm Huỳnh Long (also known as Nguyễn Lâm), with central themes focusing on his perspective on the world and his depiction of young women.

In Hà Nội, innovation does not arrive with fanfare — it hums quietly beneath thousand-year-old roofs, flickering through QR codes on mossy walls and glowing screens held beneath red-tiled gateways.

It is very challenging for older people to learn to play an instrument due to unstable health, poor memory and limited dexterity. However, this has not deterred Trần Thị Thọ and her centre's staff from running the classes.

Beyond shopping, Myeongdong is also a food lover’s paradise. Especially on Sundays or in the evenings, the streets come alive with countless eateries serving delicious dishes.

The HCM City Theatre Association and local art troupes have launched a series of activities this month to celebrate Việt Nam Stage Day, which falls on the 12th day of the eighth lunar month.
