In addition to the Ao Dai fashion show, a space aimed at exhibiting collections of long dresses through various periods in the country’s history will also take place.

Elsewhere, Le Loi street will host a food festival from December 18 to December 23. On display will be approximately 80 booths showcasing a range of vegetarian food, royal food, and other traditional cuisine.

Phan Thanh Hai, director of Thua Thien-Hue province’s department of culture and sports, noted that the festivals are part of tourism products being launched at the end of the year in an effort to boost to appeal of Hue as an attractive tourism destination.
