Dragon festival to mark 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held a
press conference on September 22 to announce a street art programme entitled
“Dragon Festival”.
The Spanish embassy in Vietnam announced the festival to the Hanoi Municipal
People’s Committee a gift for the occasion of 1,000th anniversary of Thang
Long-Hanoi.
The “Dragon festival” is scheduled to be held at My Dinh National Stadium on
October 2.
At the press conference, Spanish ambassador to Vietnam Fernando Curcio praised
the Hanoi Municipal People’s Committee, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and
Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the preparations of the 1,000th
anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
He also expressed delight at the contributions made by the Spanish embassy and
community in organizing the “Dragon Festival”.
This festival, which includes diverse activities such as fireworks and
performances by street artists, is expected to help citizens learn more about
the history of the establishment of Hanoi.
The “Dragon festival” originated from the idea of Spain’s famous opera group the
Els Comedians for performing the history of the establishment of the capital
city of Hanoi.
Nguyen Van Tinh, head of the International Cooperation Department under the
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism highlighted the goodwill of Spanish
friends and pledge to make joint efforts to organize the festival successfully.
