For the third year in a row, the Vietnam Festival is returning to the Sun Square at Osaka Castle Park to celebrate the friendship between Japan and Vietnam. Taking place over the weekend of March 7-8, the festival aims to showcase Vietnamese culture through food, music and more.
This year, the event promises a feast for all five senses, offering the sights, scents, sounds, energy and – of course – the flavour of contemporary Vietnamese life. Dozens of food booths will be serving up Vietnamese favourites including pho, bun bo, banh mi, spring rolls and Vietnamese coffee, all prepared by Vietnamese restaurants from across the Kansai region.
The music programme will feature performances by popular Vietnamese artists, alongside Japanese performers who have a strong connection to Vietnamese culture. Alongside the food and music, the festival will also offer tourism information showcasing Vietnam’s most attractive destinations.
