VGP - The third Ha Noi Autumn Festival is taking place from November 21-23, featuring the distinctive beauty of the capital’s autumn through a spacious cultural–tourism experience.
The third Ha Noi Autumn Festival takes place from November 21-23, 2025
The event brings together around 150 exhibition booths from localities, communes and wards, airlines, travel agencies, destinations, and artisans, creating a vibrant mosaic of Ha Noi tourism in the year-end peak season.
Throughout the three-day event, visitors can explore themed spaces, a culinary zone, a street-performance area, and a photography exhibition.
The highlight of the festival will be an art program on the evening of November 21, combining lighting effects, music and nostalgic elements reflecting the city's charm.
In the morning of November 23, a mass performance will bring together traditional art troupes.
A series of community-engagement activities will take place before and during the festival, including a creative playground for children, a photo contest, and tours around the capital city.
Earlier, Ha Noi has been named as one of Asia's most beautiful destinations to admire autumn leaves, according to a new ranking by UK travel and culture magazine Time Out.
According to the publication, the capital city's famous Old Quarter–less well known as a destination for viewing fall foliage–comes alive with vibrant colors as the temperature dips.
Visitors are encouraged to take a leisurely stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, where they can fully appreciate the stunning reds and golds of autumn.
"The mid-autumn festival celebrates the end of harvest season, with traditional music, lion dances and lots of mooncakes, round pastries filled with ingredients like lotus seeds, salted egg yolk and mung beans. In the evening, the streets are lit up by lanterns of all shapes and sizes, making for a truly mesmerizing sight," the article notes./.
