The establishment and development of Hue Union of Literature and Arts Associations - abbreviated as the “Union” (originating from Thua Thien National Salvation Cultural Association in 1945), marks an important milestone in Hue’s cultural history. For 80 years, the Union has not only organized and gathered creative forces but has also served as a “pivot” connecting heritage with innovation, tradition with modernity, and artists with the public.

On the afternoon of September 18, in Hue City, the Union of Literature and Arts Associations of Hue City held a ceremony to celebrate its 80th anniversary (1945 - 2025).

Alongside provinces, cities, and ministries across the country, Hue City participated in the National Achievements “80 years of the journey of Independence - Freedom - Happiness” themed exhibition held in Hanoi, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2nd).

The exhibition with the theme “The Journey of 80 Years to Independence - Freedom - Happiness” will take place from August 28 to September 5 at the National Exhibition Center in Hanoi. Hue City will bring to the event a display space rich in Hue’s identity and cultural characteristics.

More than a month of being carried out, the archaeological excavation has revealed the foundation of Dai Cung Mon - the main gate of the Forbidden City of the Nguyen Dynasty. This is an important step forward in reconstructing the architectural symbol destroyed by war nearly 80 years ago.

Since the establishment in 2019 with the initial 80 members, the Green Wind Choir has now gathered nearly 200 members from 6 to 86 years old. This is the first community choir to organize its own choral concert, which has become an annual event and been eagerly awaited by audiences. Notably, the Green Wind Choir always reserves hundreds of seats for special guests, who are teenagers in difficult circumstances from social protection centers.
