Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 takes place concurrently with the 5-day holiday. This is the time for Hue to stimulate demand and attract tourists to the festival.

After 8 periods of organization, Hue Traditional Craft Festival has become a brand name with many programs and activities on an increasingly large and professional scale. However, maintaining activities after the festival is what businesses and establishments in the area expect so as to bring craft village products closer to tourists.

Participating in the festival, Hue tourism industry focused on promoting its events and festivals of this year; especially the Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 and a series of activities to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Complex of Hue Monuments and the 20th anniversary of Hue Royal Court Music recognized as the world’s cultural intangible heritage.

On the afternoon of April 4, the People’s Committee of Hue City said that the program “Gratitude to the Huong River” in the framework of Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 would take place from 5:00 to 21:30 on May 1, 2023 on the Huong River area through Hue City.

Following the success of 8 Hue Traditional Craft Festivals from 2005 to present, and implementing the Four Seasons Festival Project, Hue City People's Committee continues to organize Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 with many rich and meaningful programs and activities, contributing to stimulating tourism demand and socio-economic development.

On the morning of March 16, Hue City People’s Committee held a ceremony to receive the sponsorship for Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023. Attending the ceremony were Chairman of Hue City People’s Committee Vo Le Nhat, city leaders and representatives of the sponsor - Carlsberg Vietnam Breweries Co., Ltd - Huda Beer brand.

Following the success of previous 8 events from 2005 up to now and implementing the project of the Four-Season Festival, Hue city People’s Committee continues to organize the 9th Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 with the theme “Essence of Vietnamese Craft” from April 28 to May 5, 2023.

After the postponement due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, the People's Committee of Hue City is urgently preparing to organize the 9th Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 at the end of April 2023.

To implement the Four Seasons Festival Project, Hue City People's Committee continues to organize the 9th Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2023 with the theme "The Vietnamese Craftsmanship," as a continuation of the previous eight successful Hue Traditional Crafts Festivals since 2005.

Thua Thien Hue is a locality with numerous traditional crafts and craft villages, but due to the lack of links in production, the designs are not rich and the output prices are not consistent. So, many handicraft products in the province have difficulty on the market and many artisans and craftsmen struggle to "live" with their profession.
