Vietnamese culture shines at 2007 Smithsonian Folklife Festival

The Ministry of Culture Sports and Tourism held a conference in Hanoi on December 26 to review the results of Vietnam’s participation in the 41st Annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival held in Washington D.C in the United States, from June 27 to July 8.

The conference was a venue for managers, local authorities, researchers and artists to meet, share experience and assess the results of Vietnam’s participation in the event.

During the festival, the Vietnamese delegation held 11 folk art performances, introduced Vietnam’s traditional handicrafts and featured vivid images of Vietnam – a peaceful prosperous country with rich cultural tradition.

The 2007 programme highlighted the diverse cultures of the Mekong River, Northern Ireland and the roots of Virginia in the US.

Under the theme “Mekong River: Connecting Cultures”, the festival drew the participation of 250 artists, performers, craftspeople, cooks and ritual specialists from the Mekong region who introduced visitors to the diverse cultures of the Mekong River, a region with close ties to the United States by recent historical events and by the more than 2 million Americans who trace their ancestry to Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and the Chinese province of Yunnan.
