Spring Flower Market in the Old Quarter 2026
This year, the Old Quarter Spring Flower Market 2026 will take place from January 30th, 2026 to 8 PM on February 16th, 2026 (corresponding to the 12th to 29th days of the 12th lunar month of the Year of the Snake), operating daily from 8 AM to 10 PM with many new and attractive features. Building upon the previous Hang Luoc Flower Market, this year, the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem Ward has expanded the flower market space to create an attractive destination for residents and tourists to enjoy and shop for Tet (Lunar New Year). The flower market will be held along the streets of Hang Luoc, Hang Khoai, Hang Ruoi, Hang Ma, and the Phung Hung mural street. The opening ceremony of the 2026 Old Quarter Spring Flower Market will be held at 7:30 PM on February 6, 2026 (corresponding to the 19th day of the 12th lunar month of the Year of the Snake) at the intersection of Hang Luoc, Hang Cot, and Phung Hung streets.
The opening ceremony included special welcoming cultural performances and experiential activities, tours of the Tet flower market and the mural space on Phung Hung Street, along with other cultural and artistic activities for the people. The Organizing Committee expects that the 2026 Old Quarter Spring Flower Market will attract approximately 25,000 - 35,000 visitors for sightseeing, shopping, and experiences.
The highlight of this year's Old Quarter Spring Flower Market is the Phung Hung mural street experience space, brightly decorated with clusters of miniature scenes and beautiful models such as a giant horse racing board game, and stalls constructed from bamboo and rattan. Here, 30 stalls will be set up to display and introduce handicrafts, traditional village products, and folk paintings.
At the same time, many cultural and artistic activities take place on this street, such as: Xam singing, calligraphy, making banh chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes), making clay figurines, painting Dong Ho folk paintings, drawing horse models, experiencing 3D chocolate painting, etc.
To make it easier for locals and tourists to enjoy themselves, shop, and experience the market, this year the Organizing Committee has not placed stalls in the middle of the road on Hang Luoc, Hang Khoai, Hang Ma, and Hang Ruoi streets, creating a clear and unobstructed route for people to access the flower market. The stalls are divided into sections including: Tet flower market, traditional craft village, and folk art space.
The world of ornamental plants, artistic trees, and bonsai, with hundreds of varieties of trees and flowers in bloom, is concentrated on Hang Luoc Street (the section from Hang Luoc to the Hang Khoai intersection). At the Hang Luoc - Hang Ma intersection, two clusters of "Old Street" stalls recreate the traditional trading space of old Hanoi, evoking nostalgic memories of a cultural aspect of the capital city.
Notably, for the first time, the Organizing Committee has dedicated an entire area to showcasing Da Lat orchids with unique varieties at the intersection of Hang Luoc and Hang Khoai streets, a highlight that attracts orchid enthusiasts.
The 2026 Old Quarter Spring Flower Market is organized to preserve and promote the national cultural identity, honor the cultural beauty in the lives of the people of Hanoi's Old Quarter, and contribute to improving the spiritual life and creating a joyful atmosphere to welcome the Year of the Horse 2026. Organizing the 2026 Old Quarter Spring Flower Market also creates a cultural and artistic space, a community activity area, and serves as a foundation for the development of Phung Hung Street towards service, trade, and tourism, linked with the pedestrian zone of Hanoi's Old Quarter and the annual Tet Flower Market in Hoan Kiem Ward.
