Be Vietnam Street Art Festival at Ho Chi Minh City Post Office

This year's annual Saigon Urban Street Fest has the theme Be Vietnam, taking place from December 5-7 at the Ho Chi Minh City Post Office.

According to the organizers, Be Vietnam is a place where heritage blends with modernity, portraying the image of a youthful, dynamic and creative Vietnam. This year, the festival has added artLIVE Breaking Championship, a playground expected to bring standard battles for the street dancer community, an opportunity for participants to meet and interact with big names in street dance.

"I accepted to join the competition because I believe in the spiritual value of contributing and inspiring the next generation. This is not simply a battle but a project that truly supports and elevates the community," said judge Alexander Tu.

During the 3 days of the event, in the space in front of the Ho Chi Minh City Post Office, there will be activities such as: Urban Zone - where art blends with culinary experiences; Spotify Wrapped offers a series of interactive experiences; Urban Stage - where fierce competitions between contestants take place, attendees can participate in folk games such as human chess, tug of war, and enjoy musical performances from artists; Check-in - a "virtual living" area with many unique shooting angles. In addition, there is also a large-scale graffiti painting with the theme of Be Vietnam by artist Nguyen Cong Danh, champion of artLIVE Graffiti Championship 2024.

After the event, the work will be auctioned and all proceeds will be donated to the Draw Your Dream project, which aims to support disadvantaged children across Vietnam through art activities and events.
