Tokyo's Cultural Extravaganza: A Glimpse into Vietnam Festival and Earth Day Tokyo
Japan-based Festival Set for Occurrence
Stepping into the heart of Tokyo, Yoyogi Park is all set to host two mesmerizing festivals - the Vietnam Festival and Earth Day Tokyo - that promise a fascinating blend of culture, music, food, and environmental consciousness.
On the calendar for May 31 and June 1, our Ambassador to Japan, Phạm Quang Hiệu, sets the stage for the upcoming Vietnam Festival. This event, boasting a seventeen-year legacy, has evolved into a signature cultural exchange event, attracting a throng of Japanese attendees and the Vietnamese community in Japan each year.
The Ambassador emphasized the festival's dual purpose: it serves as a reunion for overseas Vietnamese, rekindling the connection with their roots, while bridging the gap between Vietnamese culture and the Japanese people. With the bonds between Vietnam and Japan fortified by their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity in Asia and the World, people-to-people exchanges stand tall as a testament to their shared values.
The Vietnam Festival program promises a vibrant lineup of performances by young Vietnamese artists, traditional water puppetry, an áo dài (Vietnamese traditional long dress) showcase, and authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
