Activities to mark 60 years of Hanoi liberation

A wide range of cultural, sports and tourism activities will be held in Hanoi from now until October 10 to celebrate the 60 th anniversary of the capital’s Liberation Day.

Following the Dien Bien Phu victory, Hanoi was freed from the French occupation on October 10, 1954.
 
 
The highlight on this occasion will be a fireworks display while outstanding Hanoi citizens will be honoured on the day. 

A scientific symposium and an exhibition on the city’s socio-economic and cultural achievements after six decades of development will also be organised. 

Other events will include a cycling race around Hoan Kiem Lake, a dragon dance performance and a traditional trade village tourism festival. 

In the near future, Hanoi also plans to hold activities to celebrate the 60 th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu victory
