According to the Organizing Committee, the 2025 Autumn Fair will have a scale of up to 3,000 booths, an exhibition area of ​​over 130,000 m², and is expected to welcome about half a million visitors per day.

Expressing his impression of the modern and professional scale of the event, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Huy (Hoai Duc, Hanoi) shared: “The fair brings together many quality products from localities. As the Prime Minister said, if there are four seasons: Spring - Summer - Autumn - Winter, there should be four fairs to serve the people and stimulate consumption, I find it very meaningful”.

With the theme “Connecting people with production and business”, the fair is not only a place to display and purchase high-quality Vietnamese goods, but also a space for cultural, culinary and artistic exchange of 34 provinces and cities.

This is also a national economic and cultural event, aiming to promote domestic consumption, spread the spirit of "Vietnamese people prioritize using Vietnamese products", and at the same time create a bridge for trade, investment and international integration.

One of the prominent spaces at this Fair is “Quintessence of Autumn in Hanoi” – an exhibition area hosted by the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade, covering an area of ​​over 17,000 m², gathering dozens of artisans from traditional craft villages.

Here, performing activities such as making clay figurines, making Bat Trang pottery, crafting horns, and hand-gilding attract a large number of locals and international tourists.

The Bat Trang ceramic booth of artisan Phung Quang Dang is always crowded with visitors. He said: “The public’s interest makes us very excited. Hopefully, from this fair, traditional ceramic products will have more orders, expanding the domestic and foreign markets.”

At the area where he makes figurines, young artisan Dang Thuong enthusiastically guides children in creating their characters. “I hope that the craft of making figurines will not only be preserved but will also become more vibrant in modern life,” he shared.

Meanwhile, at the Muoi Su horn craft booth, artisan Nguyen Van Su said: "Participating in the fair is a rare opportunity to tell the story of the profession, so that customers understand that each product is the crystallization of meticulousness, creativity and love for the profession."

Not only attracting retail customers, the fair is also an important opportunity for businesses to connect with trade. Mr. Le Ngoc Anh, Director of Le Gia Food and Trade Services Company Limited (Thanh Hoa), brought to the fair national 5-star OCOP standard fish sauce, hoping to find more export partners.

Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hanh, Director of SH Trading Company Limited, expressed her hope that with the number of visitors exceeding expectations, Hue Ao Dai and Vietnamese handicrafts will be known to more consumers.

According to experts, the 2025 Autumn Fair is not only a shopping and experience space but also a launching pad for Vietnamese products to reach the world. Trade promotion activities, demonstrations, supply-demand connection and digital transformation are implemented synchronously, opening up opportunities for businesses, cooperatives and artisans.
