After numerous delays, the Long Bien Bridge Festival will take place on November 20 and 21, reports VietnamPlus.
The street festival will be themed “The dragon bridge tells the Thang Long-Hanoi story – The bridge of peace, integration and development.”
The main festival event will be the arrival of dragon boats from Ninh Binh Province on Hoa Lu River on their way to Ha Long Bay. There will be performances on the boats.
The bridge will have two different themes: the bridge of memory and the bridge of dreams.
The bridge of memory section featuring exhibitions and displays about the national victory and traditional costumes and artifacts will be in the outbound lanes from Hoan Kiem District to Gia Lam District.
In the inbound lanes of the bridge from Gai Lam District to Hoan Kiem District, the dreams section will feature exhibitions about the era of integration and development and an artist camp and art related to the theme Green Globe.
The organizers encourage festival goers to dress up in traditional costumes to make the spirit more celebratory. There will also be collections for flood victims in the central region.
