The craft village and creative design festival 2024 opened in Hanoi's Thuong Tin district on October 11, alongside an exhibition featuring the district's One Commune-One Product (OCOP) products and handicrafts.

The event is among activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the capital city (October 10,1954-2024) and the district (August 28, 1954-2024). 

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vice Director of the municipal Department of Industry and Trade Nguyen Dinh Thang noted that the events aim to help businesses, production establishments and artisans across Hanoi to promote their OCOP and handicraft products. 

There are performances featuring the production process and local crafts. They are expected to help boost tourism development in the craft villages, he said. 

Visiting the festival and exhibition, lasting until October 14, organisations and individuals can learn about creative design activities and the process of making products with economic, technical and aesthetic values, satisfying different needs and tastes. 

Hanoi is home to 1,350 craft villages with about 176,000 households engaging in traditional crafts, accounting for 45% of the total number of craft villages in the country. Thuong Tin district alone has 50 craft villages recognised by the municipal People's Committee and 81 villages with crafts.
