(Cinet)- The nine-day Festival Hue, from April 12-20, was a big feast of art and music with a participation of 2,600 artists and performers, including 595 foreign ones, doing their best to entertain visitors.
The festive atmosphere with music, lights, crowds and sounds seen and heard in almost every corner of the city. Performances by Vietnamese and international art troupes were also held in several remote and mountainous districts, spreading the atmosphere in a wider area.
For those attending the festival, they had the opportunity to taste so many unique foods at the same time in the city. This was especially true due to bringing together worldwide art troupes, Asian dancers and Asian food in one place.

These figures will help to determine the success of the festival.
