"Happiness" Seminar: A place where speakers with a large following, inspirational figures about happiness or famous young faces in all fields share about their never-ending journey, spreading positive things that create happiness. Participants will return, start a journey of "Reconnecting with the inner child" to listen to old dreams and soothe the wounds that still remain. That is the starting point for us to truly "Learn to love ourselves again", cherish our unique self with all its real scratches, tolerate the imperfections and realize that happiness is a seedling that is already there, just waiting for us to water it with self-love.

Here, each participant can learn how to choose a perspective, capture happy moments like a real "photographer". All will create together, spread the beauty of visual arts and send the message "Happy Vietnam" to the community, towards the Vietnam Happy 2026 photo and video contest.

Portraying happiness: Going beyond the framework of a normal competition, the creative challenges at the event from taking photos, filming videos to drawing are designed as experiential journeys. There, each person not only explores their own limits, but also finds pure joy in turning moments and ideas into works. Not just a competition, this is a space for everyone to create, connect, and spread happiness together. Through sharing works on social networks, the message "Happy Vietnam" will be spread strongly, becoming a living value in the community.

80 couples with happy stories: The second day of the Vietnam Happy Fest 2025 event will be a special chapter, full of meaning, symbolizing the 80-year journey of Independence - Freedom - Happiness of the nation. Those 80 years are portrayed through 80 love stories of today's generation, stories that are not only told, but also honored in the most complete way. In a warm, sacred atmosphere, 80 couples will celebrate a common wedding ceremony. Their happiness, sprouting from peace and freedom, is not only a personal happy day, but also the brightest affirmation of the desire for happiness of an entire nation. The most touching highlight is when their own images, the most genuine moments of love, will blend with melody and light in a special performance, turning each couple's story into a fresh flower, weaving a brilliant garden of Happiness in Vietnam.

Sharing Happiness: A deeply humane highlight within the framework of the event is the activity "Sharing Blood Drops". This is not only an action, but also a meaningful affirmation: A drop of blood given will join the flow of life, adding hope and preserving the beat of other hearts. Participating in blood donation is the way each person turns kindness into practical action, contributing to continuing to write stories about life, spreading a true happiness - the happiness of giving.

Melody of Independence - Freedom - Happiness: Music leads the way and feels the beat of happiness right in the heart of the walking street! During the 3 evenings of the event, Acoustic bands and modern dance groups will create an exciting musical space, stirring all senses, attracting everyone to put aside all worries and freely express themselves. This is where connection takes place in the most natural way, where happiness does not need to be defined, just felt through each rhythm.
