The first Festival of Red Ceramic Bricks – Green Economy in Vinh Long Province 2024 will take place at the red ceramic brick craft village along the Thay Cai Canal in Mang Thit District, Vinh Long Province, from November 16 to November 23, 2024.
According to the Vinh Long Department of Tourism, this inaugural festival will feature diverse activities, offering visitors an engaging experience of Vinh Long and the unique cultural values of the “Red Kingdom – Mang Thit.” The opening ceremony is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. on November 16 at the brick production craft village along Thay Cai Canal.
Festival staging can visit, experience, and explore the red ceramic brick craft village, watch artisans create and explain the history and development of this brick-making hub, as well as the meticulous process of crafting unique ceramic brick products that embody traditional Vietnamese culture.
A highlight of the festival will be an expansive exhibition space with “floating market” activities on both water and land. Approximately 30 boats will line the riverbank, loaded with local agricultural products and materials, while around 40 stalls on land will showcase OCOP products, notable village craft goods, and regional agricultural specialties.
Additionally, the festival will include LED kite performances, with kites ranging in size from 5 meters to over 20 meters soaring through the sky for visitors to admire. Approximately 300 drones will perform for 10-15 minutes, displaying iconic images of Mang Thit in the night sky during the opening ceremony.
As part of the festival, Vinh Long will set a record with 102 dishes made from soy tofu skin, marking the first showcase of tofu skin dishes in Vietnam. Established nearly a century ago, the My Hoa tofu skin craft village in Binh Minh, Vinh Long, has become an increasingly popular attraction for visitors.
The Green Economy activities will include various events such as a photo exhibition themed “Green Environment – Green Life – Green Tourism” at T&T Phuoc Tho residential area, Pho Co Dieu Street, Ward 3, Vinh Long City; a regional specialty fair showcasing the Mekong Delta; and exhibition and experiential spaces for agricultural, industrial, and tourism products along Vo Van Kiet Street.
There will also be additional activities, such as planting commemorative trees under the theme “For a Green Earth” and a cultural space featuring agricultural products and tools on display.
