Vietnam Culture Festival
Feel the Soul of Vietnam in the Heart of Moscow

From July 25 to August 3, Manezhnaya Square will become a vibrant gateway into Vietnamese culture. Explore authentic cuisine, traditional art, and spectacular performances — all right in the centre of Moscow.
About the Festival
The Vietnam Culture Festival in Moscow is part of the Summer in Moscow citywide program, organized in collaboration with the Moscow Government and the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the Russian Federation.
The venue will be decorated with tropical greenery, authentic art installations, and cultural elements that reflect the diverse and colorful traditions of Vietnam — from the Mekong Delta to the capital city of Hanoi.

Why You Should Go
This is your opportunity to:
- Watch daily shows of water puppet theatre — a rare art form from northern Vietnam;
- Immerse yourself in a symphony of tropical colors with live music, dance performances, and captivating martial arts shows;
- Savor the fragrant world of Vietnamese cuisine — from steaming pho and crispy spring rolls to the soft, floral notes of com (Cốm), a green rice delicacy wrapped in lotus leaves;
- Join themed workshops and explore handmade crafts, including Vietnamese lacquer art — a patient blend of resin, gold, and shell, rooted in harmony with nature;
- Visit photo zones and exhibitions showcasing Vietnam’s nature, artistry, and fashion — including the iconic ao dai, a flowing national dress that embodies the grace, strength, and quiet elegance of the Vietnamese woman.
Whether you're a foodie, culture lover, or just curious about Vietnam — there’s something for everyone!
