At noon on March 24, according to a reporter from Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, many customers were still lining up to buy bread despite the hot weather. Many stalls were still packed with customers.

Customers queue up to buy bread at a booth during the festival. This scene has been going on for the past 4 days, many people said they had to queue for 1-2 hours to buy 1-2 loaves of bread, but they were very happy and did not complain.

According to the reporter's observation, by around 2 p.m., since it was the last day, some stalls were starting to run out of products to sell and were preparing to clean up. However, at the entrance, many locals and tourists continued to come with the desire to join in the atmosphere and experience the bread festival.

The festival organizers said they have worked closely with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety to train people on food safety and hygiene. Customers who buy bread are given a coupon to wait for their bread. Ms. Xuyen (living in District 4) said she really likes to eat bread, so she took advantage of the last day of the festival to stop by and buy a few loaves for her family. The prices at the festival are not higher than those at shops outside, and there are many brands, so there are many choices.

In the hot noon, not only domestic visitors but also many international visitors came to the festival, buying and enjoying bread on the spot with excitement and pleasure.

Banh mi Nguyen Sinh Bistro was established in 1942 and was recognized by the Vietnam Record Organization as one of the top famous long-standing brands in Vietnam.

A group of friends working in Da Lat took the weekend to go home to Ho Chi Minh City and enjoy banh mi at the festival. The group said that they went at noon, although it was sunny, it was... quiet and had the opportunity to buy many banh mi dishes. According to preliminary statistics from the organizing committee, the number of visitors to the festival increased by about 30-40% compared to the initial estimate of about 150,000 visitors during the 4 days.
