The 3rd Ho Chi Minh City International Music Festival is also considered one of the biggest cultural events of the year in Ho Chi Minh City, aiming to invest in developing the cultural industry and stimulating tourism in the city.

Compared to other large-scale music events taking place at the same time, the special feature of HOZO 2023 is that it does not sell tickets. This is the policy of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee with the aim of creating a festival for the community and the people.

The organization of the above event also aims to contribute to the effective implementation of the Project "Organizing typical festivals, cultural and sports events in Ho Chi Minh City, period 2020-2030".

Ho Chi Minh City advocates strengthening creative, performing and promotional activities associated with the goal of serving the public; encouraging and attracting social resources to promote potential, creating a mechanism to attract investment in performing arts activities in general and music activities in particular.

"The program is expected to become an annual, unique cultural and tourism event of the city, thereby contributing to preserving the national cultural identity, moving towards integration and development, promoting the image of the country and people of Vietnam, contributing to building the brand of the Ho Chi Minh City International Music Festival" - Meritorious Artist Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports, representative of the Organizing Committee shared.

HOZO International Music Festival was first held in 2019. After a 2-year postponement due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event returned in November 2022 on a large scale, attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators at 2 locations - Nguyen Hue walking street (District 1) and Thu Thiem 2 Bridge Park (Thu Duc City).

This year, HOZO’s three official shows will take place from December 22-24 on Nguyen Hue and Le Loi walking streets. The show will be held at the same time as the food festival to attract more tourists.
