The Overseas Vietnamese Association in France to celebrate 2010 Lunar New Year Festival
Hanoi (VNA) – The Overseas Vietnamese Association in France will celebrate the
forthcoming 2010 Lunar New Year Festival on Feb. 6 at UNESCO’s headquarters in
Paris, said the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs.
With the theme, “1,000 years of Thang Long-Hanoi”, the festival will include a
full music programme including an opera about Vietnam’s history.
Apart from classical and popular music, the organising board will set aside a space
where the elderly can reminisce about their homeland as well as another for children
where they can play traditional games, to help overseas Vietnamese kids understand
the origins of their nation more comprehensively.
Guests and visitors at the festival will be able to enjoy a selection of traditional
dishes cooked in a northern style and also become familiar with the kinds of clothes
that were commonly worn during the nations glorious past.-End item
