Background on the Festival:
The first Long Bien Festival took place in October 2009, it was the first time every social class and generation had access to Art. The Festival helped to save the Long Bien Bridge from becoming obsolete. The structure was built in 1903 by the French Colonialists, it endured bomb after bomb during the American war, but was rebuilt every time as a symbol of Vietnam’s will and courage for independence. The Festival witnessed over 50,000 people who came to show their sentiments for the bridge. The Festival will run again, always free and accessible to Everyone, this time to commemorate Hanoi’s 1000th anniversary.
It is a great opportunity for all artists to expose themselves to the public. Over 200,000 people are expected to show-up, and the festival will be covered by various local and international media.
More details: At the end of the Long Bien Bridge one finds a recreational area. This area will be used for performances. The stage will be covered, and the area will be enclosed for security reasons.
The stage is suitable for a five man group maximum.
