The central province of Thua Thien-Hue has carried out many construction projects for the upcoming Hue Festival 2008, including a project to dredge the An Cuu river and a project to install pavement and plant trees on major streets in Hue city.

Many organisations and businesses have sponsored the festival. In particular, the Hue Beer Company granted up to VND2 billion to the event, while France provided US$30,000 in aid to help the province train technical staff for the festival.
