The Organizing Committee to celebrate the city's major holidays under the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports coordinated with relevant units to host the two events, aiming to create a bustling atmosphere during the year-end festival season.
The festivals gathered nearly 30 participating units with more than 1,500 trumpet artists, actors and musicians.
Right after the opening ceremony, audiences enjoyed unique trumpet music and puppetry performances along with the street puppet parades around the area of Ben Thanh Market in District 1.
