The event will feature an exhibition of high-value artistic pottery products from Dong Nai province and other notable ceramic-making regions across the country, including Thanh Ha (Quang Nam), Red Pottery (Vinh Long), Bau Truc (Binh Thuan), and Binh Duong ceramics. It will also include a seminar focusing on solutions to preserve and develop traditional pottery in the context of global integration, as well as a logo and brand identity design competition for the Bien Hoa - Dong Nai Traditional Pottery Festival.

In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to interact with master artisans and learn more about the aesthetics of traditional pottery.

A major highlight of the festival will be the launch of 50 large-capacity hot air balloons, each capable of carrying from 10 to 16 passengers. This will be the largest hot air balloon festival ever held in Vietnam. Free tickets will be distributed to local residents during the event for balloon ride experiences.

Bien Hoa pottery boasts a history spanning hundreds of years and is well known both domestically and internationally. This is the first time Dong Nai has held a festival dedicated to honouring, promoting, preserving and enhancing the cultural value of pottery.

According to the Dong Nai Fine Arts Pottery Association, the Bien Hoa pottery tradition dates back to the mid-18th century and flourished from the late 19th to the end of the 20th century. Despite various ups and downs, Bien Hoa ceramics have maintained a strong presence, with exports to more than 30 countries worldwide./.
