DNO - From museum exhibitions and street performances to an international lantern festival, a series of cultural events running through the end of 2026 is offering visitors new ways to discover Hoi An’s rich heritage and creative spirit.
As the year draws to a close, Hoi An is inviting visitors to experience its cultural heritage from fresh perspectives through a vibrant program of exhibitions, artistic performances, traditional craft activities and community events.
Bringing together museums, the Ancient Town, traditional craft villages and performing arts, the program aims to enrich the city’s tourism offerings while making its cultural values more accessible to both visitors and local communities.
One of the highlights is the special exhibition “Old Spaces”, running from November 23 to December 23 at the Hoi An Museum of Folk Culture, 33 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street.
The exhibition will introduce cultural values associated with the everyday lives and traditions of Hoi An residents, offering visitors a glimpse into the city’s past.
The program will also feature the introduction of two publications, “Hoi An Trading Port in the 16th -19th Centuries” and “Hoi An Guide - A Creative Heritage City”.
The publications are expected to provide valuable historical and cultural references and help promote the distinctive identity of this heritage destination.
From November 18, Bach Dang Street will become a stage for “The Flow of Heritage”, a street art program bringing artistic performances into the heart of the ancient town.
Visitors can also enjoy a range of cultural shows, including “Hoi Pho - Love Songs” and “Hoi An - Gentle Street Corners” at Kazik Park, as well as “Hoai River Night” along the namesake river.
These performances add to the charm of Hoi An after dark, giving visitors more reasons to linger in the town and explore its cultural atmosphere.
A major highlight is the Hoi An International Lantern Festival 2026, scheduled for December 3 - 6 at Hoai River Square, An Hoi Sculpture Garden and throughout the Ancient Town.
Under the theme “Hoi An - Colors of Heritage”, the festival will feature lantern displays, hands-on lantern-making activities and cultural exchanges through artistic performances.
Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the craftsmanship behind one of Hoi An’s most iconic traditional art forms and experience the creativity that keeps this heritage alive.
Alongside tourism activities, the program places strong emphasis on heritage education and engaging younger generations.
From November 23 to December 5, a series of initiatives will bring local heritage into schools through educational activities, alongside a photo and video competition entitled “Hoi An Heritage through the Museum’s Lens” and the “Heritage Classroom” program.
The program will also celebrate Central Vietnamese Bai Choi folk art, a traditional performance combining music, poetry, acting and folk games.
The launch of an electronic curriculum for teaching and preserving Hoi An’s Bai Choi art will further support the transmission of this distinctive cultural tradition to future generations.
From historic museum displays and riverside performances to colorful lantern installations and interactive craft experiences, Hoi An is offering a richer and more engaging way to explore its heritage this year-end season.
For travelers seeking more than sightseeing, these activities provide opportunities to connect with local traditions, meet the people who preserve them and experience the cultural character that makes Hoi An a distinctive destination in Da Nang.
