This year’s event includes many cultural activities bringing bustling Tet atmosphere to the city. The flower market will become one of the HCMC’s annual events on the occasion of the Lunar New Year, starting from this year.
The event co-organized by the Department of Culture and Sports of HCMC and the People’s Committee of District 8 will run until February 11 (on the 30th day of the last lunar month).
