From 9am to 4pm on November 14, the 2015 Traditional Crafts Fair will take place at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, an annual program organized by Craft Link.

The Fair is one of the most interesting cultural events in Hanoi in November. Ethnic minority groups, craft villages and disabled groups from all over the country will come to display and sell their traditional products. Within the framework of the Fair, the Organizing Committee will also introduce to the public traditional art performances, folk games, and many attractive outdoor group activities.

The fair is a special annual event that production groups always look forward to and prepare very carefully. This is an opportunity for producers to sell directly to customers, learn about market trends. And customers also have the opportunity to meet directly with producers as well as learn more about the traditional culture of the ethnic groups.
