Brilliant procession of Vietnamese costume "Hundred Flowers of Joy" at Hoan Kiem Lake walking street

Within the framework of the Vietnam Happy Fest event series, on December 7, the Vietnamese costume theme "Bach Hoa Hy Su" (Wedding Season 2025) took place with a reenactment of the traditional wedding procession around Hoan Kiem Lake walking space.

Through this activity, Vietnam Happy Day conveys a message about cultural values, family and happiness, while encouraging the young generation to learn, appreciate and spread national heritage.

The procession started from Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square, passed Hang Dau Street, Trang Tien - Hang Khay intersection, walked around Hoan Kiem Lake and then returned to the main stage of the Festival.

The stream of people in ao dai, nhat binh, ngu than… created a colorful scene, attracting a large number of locals and tourists.

Inspired by the Nguyen Dynasty's happy events with the rhythm of the procession, offerings and auspicious symbols, the program hopes to evoke the image of the procession of mandarins, families and the bride and groom in ancient times.

Familiar rituals in cultural memory are recreated like vivid films, now appearing in the middle of modern streets, creating a feeling of both nostalgia and novelty.

The procession gathered a large community of Vietnamese costume lovers, cultural research and practice groups, and many couples registered to participate in the form of 1 male - 1 female.

Expanding the audience to the public is considered an interesting highlight of the event, helping many young people have the opportunity to preserve wedding memories with images of traditional Vietnamese costumes.

Besides, the event also contributes to enriching the cultural life of the community and affirms the enduring vitality of Vietnamese traditional costumes in the modern flow.
