The Hanoi Creative Design Festival is directed by the Hanoi People's Committee and the Vietnam Association of Architects; organized by the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports and the Architecture Magazine; accompanied by the UNESCO Representative Office in Hanoi and many other organizations and units. The festival is held annually as an international initiative of Hanoi, creating resonance and inspiration for creativity among the people. This is the 4th year the festival has been held.

For the first time, the creative intersection of the capital will be piloted along 7 typical historical heritage works of Hanoi with hundreds of vibrant creative activities in the fields of architecture, design, fine arts, performance, cinema, advertising...

The main area where the Festival takes place is the August Revolution Square, connecting the North-South axis (Ly Thai To - Le Thanh Tong street) and the East-West axis (Bac Co slope - Trang Tien street), including prominent architectural works such as Hanoi Children's Palace, Government Guest House (Bac Bo Phu), Opera House, National History Museum... and 5 flower gardens Ly Thai To, Co Tan, Dien Hong flower garden...

The festival’s experience route will be an opportunity to bring prominent architectural works associated with Hanoi’s history closer to people’s lives. Some of the works are opening to visitors for the first time, such as the Government Guest House, and some tours are “activated” such as visiting the Opera House, the University, etc.

The creative activities held here will be a dialogue between existing works, linking community memories with new creative ideas to emphasize the role of young people in continuing and promoting national values ​​in developing the creative industry, promoting the Capital to truly develop as a creative center of the country.

The festival hosts nearly 100 creative activities. Highlights include iconic works, creative space model installations, exhibitions and displays, art performances, experiences, international and domestic seminars and conferences in the creative field...

At the same time, the spirit of creativity is also spread throughout cultural heritage spaces, creative spaces, traditional craft villages throughout the streets, districts, and towns of the Capital. In order for creativity to not only be confined to the festival space, but also spread to every citizen, the Festival sends out a message calling on organizations, individuals, agencies, and businesses in the city to collaborate in creativity, displaying their "creative initiatives" on the spot. It promises that the people and visitors of the Capital will live in the atmosphere of a unique and interesting "creative party".

This is the 4th year the Festival has been held in the context of Hanoi realizing initiatives when joining the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. Officially joining in 2019, Hanoi is the first city in Vietnam to become a member of the Network. With the role of a creative "conductor" city, Hanoi's creative position has spread to many localities and now the country has Hoi An and Da Lat cities joining this Network./.
