300 kinds of roses to bloom in Hanoi's Thong Nhat Park on March 8
The biggest ever rose festival in Vietnam, themed “Bulgaria Rose Festival with Friends”, will be held held at Thong Nhat island in Thong Nhat Park on Tran Nhan Tong Street in Hanoi from March 3-8.
The festival is organised by the Embassy of Bulgaria in Vietnam and the Vietnam-Bulgaria Friendship Association.
The event will feature 300 kinds of roses which originate from Bulgaria and other countries and are planted in Vietnam. Thong Nhat island in Thong Nhat Park will be decorated with roses under different themes.
The festival aims to celebrate the National Day of Bulgaria on March 3 and International Women’s Day on March 8.
“Bulgaria has been famous for rose festivals in the Rose Valley for centuries. Since 1903, this traditional festival has been held on the first Sunday of June and attracted millions of tourists from all over the world. In 1971, it became a national festival,” according to Ambassador of Bulgaria to Vietnam Evgueni Stoytchev at the recent press conference.
The diplomat stressed that it is not the first time a Bulgarian rose festival has been held abroad but it is the first time such a large-scale Bulgarian rose festival has been organised abroad.
This festival is expected to make a chance to present to the public the ancient culture of the rose festival of Bulgaria, according to the organizing board.
The event will offer an opportunity for students, trainees and employees who worked and lived in Bulgaria to meet each other.
During the event, products made from roses and Bulgarian food will also be on display.
The highlights of the festival include a parade on the streets with circus artists and cars decorated with flowers and performances of street artists from Bulgaria and Vietnam.
The Queen of Rose contest will also be held to pick up the most beautiful woman in the contest.
The event is expected to attract many Vietnamese students who have studied in Bulgaria and other fans of roses in Hanoi.
