The biennial festival was initially slated for April 1-6 but then postponed to
August 28 due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The change was made at a meeting of the organising board on July 21.
According to the Hue Festival Centre, the adjustment was made in consideration
of other activities to be held to mark the 75th National Day (September 2) and
60 years of the relations of Hanoi – Hue – Saigon.
The Hue Festival 2018 was held with the theme: ‘Cultural Heritage with
Integration and Development: Hue - One Destination, Five World Heritages’. It
attracted the participation of nearly 1,400 artists and professional actors
including 388 from 24 international art troupes and nearly 1,000 from across the
country. Thousands of amateur artists also took part in the event, which
welcomed more than 1.2 million visitors./.
