The story

Hanoi Autumn Festival in Hanoi

The Hanoi Autumn Festival is a citywide cultural-tourism event held each November, most recently its third edition on November 21-23, 2025 at Tran Nhan Tong pedestrian street and Thong Nhat Park. Themed Hanoi Autumn - Season of Memories, it filled 150 booths with districts, craft villages, and enterprises showcasing the capital's autumn identity.

Hanoi's autumn has long been a subject in Vietnamese song and poetry before it became a scheduled festival, the season associated with cooling air, falling leaves, and a particular kind of wistful memory that Hanoians describe as uniquely their own.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival organizes its 150 booths into distinct experiential zones rather than a single undifferentiated market: a Flavor of Memories food space built around dishes tied to Hanoi's autumn season, a Hanoi - Heartbeat of Youth area combining street art, handicraft workshops, and sketching for younger visitors, and Autumn in Your Eyes, a creative space for poetry, music, and painting aimed at children and youth

02

The mystery stays covered

A companion Moments of Hanoi Memories photography contest, open online to tourists and young people, extends the festival's reach beyond the physical grounds

03

The city starts moving

Together the programming positions the event as Hanoi's dedicated seasonal counterpart to its better-known spring and Tet celebrations
