HCM City to host first street art festival in Vietnam
VTV.vn - The administration of Ho Chi Minh City put the southern metropolis forward as hosts of Saigon Urban Arts 2021 during a meeting held on November 16 with the consulate general of France.

The event, the first of its kind in Vietnam, is scheduled to get underway between April and November next year. It will feature a diverse range of activities for members of the public to enjoy and participate in, including mural paintings, street art exhibitions, workshops focusing on street art, and music festivals.

It is hoped that through the event images of the citizens and landscapes of both Vietnam and the southern city will be promoted, according to Duong Anh Duc, vice chairman of Ho Chi Minh City’s administration.

He also assigned the local departments of foreign affairs, culture and sports, and the youth cultural house, to be in charge of organising the event.
