Vietnamese festive day features vibrant activities in Netherlands
VOV.VN - Over 100 Vietnamese expatriates converged on Utrecht city in the Netherlands on May 28 for the Vietnamese festive day featuring a wide range of cultural activities.
The highlight of the festival was Vietnamese expats donning Ao Dai (traditional long dress) and Non La (palm conical hat) to form the shape of the Vietnamese map, including the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos.
The festival also welcomed the participation of Dutch brides and grooms wearing Vietnamese Ao Dai.
The participants then formed the phrase “I love Vietnam” to deliver a message of strengthening solidarity among the Vietnamese community in the Netherlands.
During the festive day, young artists performed traditional and modern Vietnamese songs, accompanied by musical instruments.
The event was organised by Vietnamese associations in the Netherlands to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries this year.
