Following the successful launch of the "Weekend Music" project on Sunday afternoons, November 30th, 2025 and December 7th, 2025, the Organizing Committee aims to build this place into a familiar cultural meeting point, creating intimate and attractive artistic experiences, contributing to enriching the spiritual life of the people and promoting the image of Hanoi – a creative, cultured, and hospitable city.
In the green space of Ly Thai To flower garden, next to the ancient French architectural structure – the Octagonal Bandstand (affectionately known by Hanoi residents as the "Bandstand," as it was once a space for brass bands to perform for the public during festivals), the melodies of the "Weekend Music" project will resonate through the saxophone playing of Meritorious Artist Quyen Van Minh, allowing domestic and international tourists to experience a dynamic and creative Hanoi.
In the future, the "Weekend Music" project will introduce more art forms such as folk, classical, and pop music to create a diverse artistic space to serve the people and tourists.
The project is expected to become a familiar cultural meeting place every weekend, where music resonates amidst the historical setting of Ho Guom Lake, allowing the community to relax, appreciate, and connect with art in the most natural and complete way.
