After four editions, the Ho Chi Minh City Book and Night Culture Festival has become a familiar cultural space and a popular nighttime gathering spot for city residents and visitors alike—a place where books, arts, and everyday life converge in a seamless experiential flow.
This year’s festival is being organized on a more professional scale, featuring a wide range of refreshed, diverse, and engaging activities. Highlights include performances of Don Ca Tai Tu Nam Bo (southern amateur music), acoustic music shows for young people, workshops on crafting traditional handmade products, folk game experiences, and opportunities to explore local cuisine and traditional craft villages, as well as fairs showcasing traditional cultural products and handicrafts.
