Following the opening ceremony, the Regal Legend Food Festival and Camel Beer Festival will officially begin, running throughout the eight-day event. With more than 100 booths, the lakeside pedestrian street and night market are expected to become a mini culinary map, showcasing specialties from across Việt Nam.
The event will also introduce specialty products from Quảng Trị and other localities, offering visitors opportunities to explore regional crafts and cuisine.
By combining cultural showcases, culinary experiences and entertainment, Quảng Trị Culture and Tourism Week 2026 is expected to create a dynamic tourism platform, helping extend visitor stays and enhance the province’s competitiveness during the peak travel season. — VNS
