“The Road to Happiness” – A Journey of 13 Emotional Experiences in Vietnam Happy Fest 2025

Stretching from Le Thai To Street to Hang Khay Street through Dinh Tien Hoang Street and ending at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square, the journey "The Road of Happiness" opens up like a stream of emotions, where every step is a story, every small corner is a miracle of Vietnamese life today.

Here are 13 activities – 13 notes of happiness:

1. Exhibition "HAPPY VIETNAM"

An open space where moments of Vietnamese life are told through light, color and emotion. Each photo is a beat of the Vietnamese heart – simple, kind and full of faith.

2. Digital interactive exhibition

Technology touches art lightly, opening up a multi-sensory world where viewers can “live” in the photos, “touch” the videos, and become part of the happy story.

3. “Companion Units” Area

A place where organizations, businesses and partners join hands to spread the beautiful message of a humane and prosperous Vietnam.

4. Announcer HAPPINESS

In the fresh air by the lake, not only the dialogue resounds but also the scene, sound and emotion rush in. It is as if you are standing in the middle of an early morning loudspeaker broadcast on the streets of Hanoi , so that the audience can be completely immersed in the very Vietnamese loudspeaker atmosphere.

5. Sharing happiness

A profound and urgent humanistic highlight within the framework of the event is the activity “Supporting Love: Sharing Happiness”. This is not just an act of donation, but a call echoing from the heart of the entire nation, towards our compatriots who are struggling to cope with natural disasters in the Central region.

Here, every contribution – be it material or spiritual – is transformed into a source of warm energy and strong hope. No sharing is small; each heart given is a fire of human love lit, dispelling the cold and anxiety of bereaved families. This activity is a meaningful affirmation: our happiness will not be complete if our people are still suffering.

Donating has long been a way for each of us to turn kindness into action, contributing to continuing stories about life and spreading true happiness - the happiness of giving.

6. Instant photo booth

Where each photo captures not only faces but also laughter, reunions and spontaneous moments of happiness. A memory brought back is a joy kept.

7. Lucky Tree

One of the most sacred spots of the event. Under the shade of the tree, thousands of wishes, messages, and gratitude are hung up like “seeds of happiness”. Each card is a beautiful wish for family, homeland and future.

Under the shade of the tree of happiness, the organizers gave away 80,000 souvenirs to people and tourists.

8. “Send happiness to tomorrow”

Each of us has things that are difficult to put into words. Difficulties with relatives, friends or words of love that are still unsaid. Write them down and gently put them in the mailbox "Happy Vietnam". The Organizing Committee will be a quiet bridge, helping to remove the incomplete things and connect your happiness more completely.

9. Workshop “The lens of happiness”

Where participants can try their hand at many art forms: taking photos, filming videos , drawing or making short clips on the theme of Happy Vietnam. The works will be shared on social networks, becoming a spreading stream of positive stories, turning each personal moment into a common inspiration of happiness and love. The creative challenge at the event from taking photos, filming videos to drawing is designed as an experiential journey. There, each person not only explores their own limits, but also finds pure joy when turning moments and ideas into works. Not just a contest, this is a space for us to create, connect and spread happiness together. Through sharing works on social networks, the message 'Happy Vietnam' will be spread strongly and become a living value in the community.

10. Outdoor activities “Health is happiness”
