HCM City orchid festival returns after four-year hiatus caused by COVID-19

The five-day festival is taking place as part of activities aimed at celebrating the 48th anniversary of the Liberation of South Vietnam and National Reunification Day on April 30 and International Labour Day on May 1.

The event draws the participation of 200 units, showcasing around 29,000 orchid braches and pots in the process.

Upon addressing the opening ceremony, Vo Van Hoan, vice chairman of the municipal People’s Committee, outlined that through the festival the southern city wants to promote orchid varieties with high economic value to both local and international visitors.

At the festival miniature landscapes featuring images of the regions in the country will be displayed, especially the scenery of the river and the traditional craft villages in Cu Chi district which is home to the largest orchid planting area in Ho Chi Minh City.

The orchid festival was first held back in 2019, with the biennial festival expected to honour orchid brands and products. It is being resumed in 2023 after four years of suspension caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Within the framework of the festival, there are interesting activities taking place like an orchid and ornamental tree exhibition, spaces to introduce OCOP products, key typical products of the southern city’s agricultural industry, and orchid products from other provinces and cities across the country.

The festival will open for free to visitors until May 2.
