"Kobe Vietnam Spring Festival (Hội Xuân Kobe) 2025" has come to a close enveloped in vibrancy, warmth, and emotion. This was not just an event to celebrate the new year, but an important opportunity for the Vietnamese community living in Japan to gather, share, and continue to preserve their hometown's cultural values.

The Vibrant Atmosphere of the Spring Festival

From early morning, the venue was filled with laughter and anticipation. The gourmet stalls that recreated the flavors of home attracted not only Vietnamese people but many international friends who love Vietnamese culture, creating a lively atmosphere.

The highlight of this year's Spring Festival was the wonderful array of artistic performances. From elegant folk dances to lively New Year's songs, all the acts created a warm atmosphere and deepened the bonds among people.

Particularly impressive was the opening lion dance, wishing for luck and happiness in the new year. Additionally, the musical exchanges by young people and guest artists provided unforgettable moments.

The Spring Festival as a Place to Protect and Convey Vietnamese Culture

The Spring Festival is not just a place to enjoy gourmet food and art. It is also a valuable opportunity for people to connect, talk, and experience various activities. Many people participated in the areas for traditional games such as Lô tô, bag hopping (nhảy bao bố), and bamboo dance (nhảy sạp), filling the venue with a sense of unity and enthusiasm.

The Smiles booth set up at the venue also became a fun place for interaction. Many people participated in mini-games, received souvenirs, and shared their New Year's resolutions. We hope that the small gifts from Smiles bring a bit of joy and luck to everyone's New Year.

The Kobe Vietnam Spring Festival 2025 was not just a celebration of the Lunar New Year, but also a journey to spread Vietnamese culture in Japan. The success of this event is thanks to the cooperation of the executive committee, volunteers, sponsors, and above all, the enthusiastic participation of the Vietnamese community in Kobe.
