First Golden Autumn Fair draws record-breaking visitors

The Autumn Fair 2025 is taking place from October 25 to November 4 at the Viet Nam Exposition Centre (Dong Anh commune, Ha Noi), under the theme "Connecting People with Production and Business." 

The event features the participation of 34 provinces and cities, ministries and sectors, along with thousands of Vietnamese and international enterprises, cooperatives, and major corporations. More than 3,000 booths are showcasing a wide range of products and services.

The fair opened its doors to the public on the morning of October 26. Within hours, exhibition halls and outdoor spaces were packed with shoppers and families eager to experience the vibrant displays and activities.

Earlier, on October 25, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended the official inauguration.

Pham expected that the event would help stimulate domestic consumption; promote the “Vietnamese people prioritise Vietnamese goods” movement, as well as enhance trade and investment cooperation and international integration, contributing to efforts towards the economic growth target of over 8 percent for 2025 and double-digit rates for the coming years.

He praised the coordination and participation of various agencies and units in preparing for the event, noting that despite the short preparation time, heavy workload, and high requirements, the event achieves the “six bests” – largest scale, most modern space, most diverse products, highest quality, most engaging activities, and best incentives.

The fair is a vivid manifestation of Viet Nam’s integration mindset, exceptional capabilities, ambition for progress, and modern vision, showcasing unity, creativity, high determination, and drastic actions of the Government, ministries, sectors, the business community, and people.

Beyond record achievements, the exhibition also offers a dynamic platform to promote trade, investment, tourism, and Vietnam’s culture. It connects domestic and international resources, expands cooperation, boosts commerce, and invites visitors to experience the country’s high-quality products, rich cuisine, and vibrant culture.

The fair features regional delicacies, art performances and exhibitions from 34 provinces and cities, celebrating Viet Nam's creative and cultural diversity.

According to the organizers, the Golden Autumn Fair 2025 is expected to welcome up to 500,000 visitors per day, making it one of the most ambitious trade and cultural events ever held in Viet Nam.

More than a trade showcase, the fair also serves as a platform for businesses to strengthen international integration, exchange expertise and adopt new technologies in digital transformation, green growth and circular economy development.

As the first of its kind, the Golden Autumn Fair 2025 has already set a strong precedent, not only as a marketplace but as a symbol of innovation, connection and pride in Vietnamese products./.
