A large-scale and vibrant Vietnamese Culture Festival commemorates the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and Vietnam.
The festival is being held on Manezhnaya Square until August 3.
Organizers have prepared over 100 activities including artistic performances, theater shows, creative workshops and a special gastronomic program.
The festival is divided into themed zones: one displaying traditional musical instruments, another offering cooking classes for pho bo, spring rolls and green rice desserts, and the third hosting water puppet theater performances.
Visitors can purchase traditional souvenirs including dong ho prints, lacquerware and the famous non la conical hats.
