Record number of visitors at the first Autumn Fair 2025

The first Autumn Fair 2025 opened on the evening of October 25th and will be open to visitors from October 26th to November 4th at the Vietnam Exhibition Center (Dong Anh, Hanoi ). Observations on the first morning of the Fair showed a large influx of visitors and shoppers to the Vietnam Exhibition Center, creating a vibrant atmosphere right from the opening day.

Ms. Nguyen Minh Chau (Hoang Mai, Hanoi) shared that today is the weekend, so she brought her children to visit and do some shopping. “This is the first time I’ve witnessed a fair of this scale. I haven’t even explored all the areas of the fair this morning. Notably, the businesses participating are all reputable, and their goods are of guaranteed quality,” Ms. Chau said.

Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan (Me Linh, Hanoi) said that he visited most of the booths and highly appreciated the scale of the organization. The fair was modern and well-organized. The government created conditions for people to access quality products; at the same time, they could visit production models of localities across the country...

On the business side, Mr. Le Ngoc Anh, Director of Le Gia Food and Trade Service Co., Ltd. (Thanh Hoa), expressed: “Participating in this fair, we are bringing our fish sauce product, which meets the national OCOP 5-star standard, a traditional seafood specialty. This is an opportunity to promote our products, share stories about our craft, and connect with domestic and international visitors. Through trade promotion sessions chaired by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Organizing Committee, businesses will have more opportunities to expand exports to many international markets.”

According to observations, people come to the Autumn Fair not only to experience shopping for high-quality Vietnamese goods, but also to enjoy the rich, creative, and unique cuisine, culture, and art of the 34 provinces and cities.

With the theme and message "Connecting people with production and business," the Fair is an economic and cultural event not only on a national scale but also reaching international levels, honoring typical products and brands that embody Vietnamese identity and intelligence, making an important contribution to stimulating domestic consumption, spreading the spirit of "Vietnamese people prioritize using Vietnamese goods," and promoting trade, investment, and international integration.

The fair, organized on the largest scale ever, is considered a "super fair," comprising 5 themed zones and approximately 3,000 booths. Spanning over 130,000 m² of exhibition space, it is expected to attract up to 500,000 visitors per day. The fair also serves as an important bridge for Vietnamese businesses to strengthen international economic integration, exchange experiences, and receive technology transfer, especially in digital transformation, green economy, and circular economy.
