Tokyo’s popular Vietnam Festival focuses on showcasing the best of contemporary Vietnamese culture. Around 100 stalls are lined up at Yoyogi Park with ample quantities of bánh mì, phở and bánh xèo, which are best paired with Vietnamese beer and coffee. There are also plenty of colourful handicrafts, knick-knacks, apparel and condiments, too.
Don’t miss the live entertainment at the main stage, ranging from traditional performing arts to pop music. This year features major Vietnamese artists including Amee and Grey D. You can also catch performances from Japanese acts such as rock band Anirocks, pianist Ayuko Higuchi and singer Kocchi no Kento. The full line-up and schedule is on the website.
