Opening the series of Mid-Autumn Festival cultural activities, on the afternoon of September 25, at the 22 Hang Buom Cultural and Art Center, the Opening Ceremony of the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival cultural activities in 2025 took place.

Here, the Organizing Committee recreates the space to introduce traditional Mid-Autumn toys. Our ancestors believed that games and toys are not only for entertainment but also as educational tools to nurture children's souls.

Traditional Vietnamese mid-autumn toys such as paper doctors, stick-playing men, papier-mâché masks; star lanterns, dough animals… are messages and wishes of our ancestors to the young generation about the spirit of studiousness, encouraging learning and creativity.

On this occasion, the Management Board of Hoan Kiem Lake and Hanoi Old Quarter coordinated with artisans and craftsmen from craft villages near Hanoi to introduce and instruct how to make traditional toys.
