A park situated along the Saigon River in Thu Duc city, as well as several other tourist destinations, will serve as the venues for the event.
The event is set to open with a music gala on March 7 at President Ho Chi Minh Monument Park on Nguyen Hue pedestrian street. The following day will then see a dance performance of thousands of people donning traditional long dresses which will take place at the pedestrian street.
Furthermore, a range of diverse activities will be launched as part of the occasion, such as an online Ao Dai photo contest, a beauty pageant, as well as many music and fashion shows.
The annual event co-organised by the municipal Department of Tourism and Ho Chi Minh City Women’s Union aims to introduce the unique features of the traditional Vietnamese long dress to international friends while spreading love for the outfit.
