The festival will recreate daily life in Hanoi in the late 19^th and early 20^th century. Artisans from Hanoi’s trade villages will demonstrate the skills they use to produce art and handicrafts.

Performances of folk arts such as water puppetry, Ca Tru folk music, and national opera, along with demonstrations of traditional Vietnamese games, will entertain the festival-goers.

The festival aims to give visitors the event-filled atmosphere of a street festival expressing both the traditional and modern culture of Vietnam, especially as it exists in Hanoi.
