From 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on November 14th, the 2015 Traditional Handicraft Fair, an annual event organized by Craft Link, will take place at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology.

The fair is one of the exciting cultural events in Hanoi in November. Ethnic minority groups, traditional craft villages, and groups of people with disabilities from all over the country will come to display and sell their traditional products. Within the framework of the fair, the organizers will also present to the public traditional art performances, folk games, and many attractive outdoor group activities.

The trade fair is a special annual event that production groups always look forward to and prepare for very carefully. It's an opportunity for producers to sell directly to customers and learn firsthand about market trends. Customers also have the chance to meet producers directly and learn more about the traditional culture of different ethnic groups.

The fair is an activity aimed at preserving traditional culture, developing the skills of ethnic minority groups, helping handicraft producers increase their income and achieve sustainable development by finding markets for their products, and contributing to increasing producers' pride in the cultural beauty of their ethnic group.

The program also aims to raise community awareness of the economic and cultural value of traditional Vietnamese handicrafts, as well as awareness of the cultural traditions of ethnic minorities in Vietnam.
