LÂM ĐỒNG – Đà Lạt, the resort city in the Tây Nguyên (Central Highlands) province of Lâm Đồng, will launch cultural and art activities through year-end to serve residents and tourists.

The programme is part of the city’s celebration of the 130th anniversary of its establishment (1893 – 2023).

The celebration will begin with a fashion show entitled “Nghệ Thuật Thời Trang Tơ Lụa” (The Art of Silk in Fashion) at Đà Lạt College on December 16.

The show will present 360 áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dress) for both men and women, and other designs created by veteran designer Minh Hạnh and her partners.

The designs will tell stories of the city’s history, architecture, flowers and foggy pine forests.

Hạnh is globally known for pioneering designs honouring the beauty of áo dài and Vietnamese brocade fabric made by ethnic groups in the northwestern and Central Highlands regions.

The arrangement of flowers with the theme of “Không Gian Hoa” (Flower Space) will be set up across the streets of the city's downtown from December 20 to January 3.

More than 100 kinds of flowers from Đà Lạt will be used for arrangements at the public parks of Yersin, Trần Hưng Đạo, Trần Quốc Toản, and Xuân Hương Lake.

In addition, the city will host a cultural exchange between Việt Nam and South Korea at Lâm Viên Square on December 28 to introduce the cultural traits of both countries.

The event will feature performances of traditional music played by artisans from Đà Lạt and Korea.
