The annual Hanoi Tourism Ao Dai Festival 2024 is taking place from October 4 to 6 at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi. The cultural event aims to honor Vietnamese Ao Dai and boost tourism in Hanoi in the last months of the year.

Marking the end of Buddhist Lent, this festival falls on the last full moon of the rainy season (the 15th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar). All monks end their 3-month fast and those who were ordained for the phansa period leave the wat to rejoin their families.
