Cultural and arts festival ‘Song of Great National Unity’

Mr. Nguyen Chi Tai, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City, and Ms. Nguyen Thi Ai Van, Member of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee and Standing Vice Chairwoman of Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City, present certificates and flowers to the participating teams

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ai Van emphasised that culture and the arts play a special role in enriching spiritual life, bringing people together and nurturing positive values within communities. In the work of Vietnam Fatherland Front, cultural and artistic activities offer an accessible way to bring together people from all walks of life, strengthen solidarity and promote the spirit of great national unity.

The festival took place amid activities marking the 96th anniversary of the founding of Vietnam National United Front, now celebrated as the Traditional Day of Vietnam Fatherland Front (November 18th, 1930 - November 18th, 2026), the 2026 Great National Unity Festival, and the peak campaign month ‘For the Poor’.

The performances are carefully staged, emotionally engaging and rich in Hue cultural identity

A notable highlight of this year's festival was the city Fatherland Front's first application of digital technology, with the preliminary round conducted through online video submissions. After more than two months since its launch, the festival received 38 entries from Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees of the city's 40 wards and communes. The Organizing Committee also showed flexibility in adjusting the competition format from three rounds to two, taking into account actual conditions and feedback from grassroots organizations.

In the final round, 20 outstanding teams delivered carefully prepared, emotionally engaging performances reflecting Hue's distinctive cultural identity. Selected performances will also be presented at the launch ceremony of the 2026 peak campaign month ‘For the Poor’, scheduled for the same evening, helping extend the spirit of great national unity through practical acts of care and support for the community.
