The Fruit Harvest Festival has become a traditional "brand" of Binh Duong over the years. This event is deeply rooted in the rural culture of the orchards, creating a familiar playground for orchard owners to exchange, learn, and hone their skills. Furthermore, the festival plays an important role in promoting the brand of Lai Thieu fruit from Thuan An City, Binh Duong Province.

This is an opportunity for localities in the Southeast and Southwest regions to expand their markets, strengthen trade and tourism cooperation, and contribute to promoting the economic, cultural and social development of Binh Duong as well as the Southern provinces and cities in general. This festival is not only a fun event but also a valuable opportunity to promote the economic and cultural development of the region.
