Addressing a press conference on B.Fest held in Hai Phong on October 9, Belgian Ambassador to Vietnam Karl Van Den Bossche noted that the event has become an annual Belgian cultural event in the northern port city, offering a wide variety of Belgian beers, food, music, and other entertainment services to local residents.
Running with the theme of “Awaken the Senses”, B.Fest 2024 invites attendees to go on a captivating journey through Belgium's renowned culinary culture.
The festival will showcase an unprecedented selection of nearly 30 kinds of Belgian beer, many of which have not been introduced in the previous editions.
Numerous activities will get underway, including firework shows, a music concert, performances of Belgian chefs, and mini games, among many other exciting activities.
The festival not only brings world-famous beers, but also aims to stage an explosive entertainment party, blending sound, light, and unique festival decor.
Local singers will join alongside renowned DJs such as Alexandra and Belgian DJ Loveboat (Discobar Galaxie) who will heat up the festive atmosphere with modern EDM tracks during the three nights.
A seminar on innovation and sustainable development will be held on October 25 to introduce Hai Phong's investment environment to both domestic and foreign investors.
The event will be jointly organised by the Embassy of Belgium, the DEEP C Industrial Zones – the largest Belgian-invested project in Vietnam, and the Belgian and Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam. It was first held in 2019 before returning in 2022.
Most recently, B.Fest 2023 welcomed around 6,000 arrivals, becoming a cultural bridge to connect the two countries’ peoples and promote mutual understanding.
