The festival will feature three main exhibition areas.

The first will showcase fruits and agricultural products, including oranges, pomelos, apples, guavas, seasonal fruits, processed lychee products and outstanding One Commune, One Product (OCOP) items.

Stalls will be arranged by locality, with information on growing areas, producers and product traceability, alongside fruit models, landscape displays and ornamental plants.

The second area will highlight outstanding rural industrial products, OCOP goods and traditional craft villages.

Exhibits will include handicrafts, processed agricultural and forestry products, and regional specialities from businesses, cooperatives and production facilities both inside and outside the city.

The third area will focus on agricultural technologies, materials, machinery and equipment for production, harvesting, storage and processing. It will also introduce solutions for product traceability, logistics, digital transformation and e-commerce.

Participating exhibitors will include communes, wards, businesses, cooperatives, organisations and production and trading establishments from various economic sectors.

The range of exhibits will extend beyond fresh agricultural produce and OCOP products to include machinery, processing and preservation technologies, agricultural supplies, banking services, telecommunications, transport and trade promotion services.

A new feature of this year's festival will be a ceremony on the opening day to offer early-season premium fruits in tribute to Buddha King Tran Nhan Tong, President Ho Chi Minh and fallen heroes. The ceremony will take place at the President Ho Chi Minh Temple in Kinh Bac ward, the War Martyrs' Memorial and Tay Yen Tu Pagoda in Tay Yen Tu commune.

The festival will also feature cultural and artistic performances, trade and tourism promotion activities, and livestream sales.

Organisers will select five to seven outstanding fruit orchards growing oranges, pomelos, apples and guavas in localities such as Luc Ngan, Chu, Nam Duong, Phuong Son and Phuc Hoa for promotional activities and visitor experiences.

Free tours by car and electric vehicle will also be arranged to transport residents and tourists from communes and wards across the city to the festival. Pick-up and drop-off points will be located at the Kinh Bac Cultural Centre in Vu Ninh ward and 3/2 Square in Bac Giang ward.

Through the event, Bac Ninh aims to promote its agricultural products, OCOP goods and local specialities while helping businesses, cooperatives and farming households expand markets and connect with distribution networks, supermarkets, shopping centres and purchasing and processing companies.

The festival will also provide producers with opportunities to promote their brands, seek business partners, sign product consumption contracts and strengthen their business and trade promotion capabilities.

By combining agricultural exhibitions, technology showcases and cultural and tourism activities, the 2026 Bac Ninh Fruit Festival is expected to enhance the value and visibility of local agricultural products, promote agricultural tourism and support more stable and sustainable production and consumption.
