The event was attended by representatives of departments, agencies and localities, along with artisans, businesses and craft village establishments from both inside and outside the province.

The delegates cut the ribbon to launch the exhibition.

The exhibition is part of a series of activities marking major cultural events, including the UNESCO recognition of Dong Ho folk painting as intangible cultural heritage in need of urgent safeguarding, the announcement of the Yen Tu – Vinh Nghiem – Con Son, Kiep Bac complex as a World Heritage Site, and the “Returning to the Bac Ninh Heritage Region – 2026” festival.

Known as a land of “hundreds of crafts,” Bac Ninh is home to many long-standing traditional craft villages rich in cultural identity. Over time, these villages have been preserved while continuing to adapt and develop in line with integration trends.

The exhibition aims to honor, promote and enhance heritage values while expanding opportunities for exchange and cooperation among craft villages, contributing to socio-economic development, particularly craft-based tourism.

More than 40 booths are showcasing typical handicraft products from Bac Ninh and northern provinces and cities such as Hanoi, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Lao Cai, Tuyen Quang, Phu Tho, Thai Nguyen, Ninh Binh and Lang Son.

The event provides artisans and producers with opportunities to present traditional craftsmanship, strengthen connections, exchange experience and expand markets.

At the opening, delegates cut the ribbon and toured exhibition spaces, experiencing techniques and products from craft villages. Highlights include dedicated areas for Bac Ninh’s traditional crafts such as Dong Ho folk painting, Phu Khe wood carving, Dong Ky fine woodwork, Phu Lang pottery, Ngoi village ceramics, Xuan Hoi bamboo and rattan weaving, Dai Bai bronze casting, and Khe Nghe brocade weaving.

Young people experience Dong Ho folk painting printing under the guidance of artisans.

Artisans are performing live demonstrations, offering visitors hands-on insight into production processes. Meanwhile, booths from other provinces showcase a wide range of traditional crafts including silk weaving, ceramics, handicrafts made from coal, toy figurines and brocade textiles.

The exhibition runs from March 25 to 30. It also features around 20 booths presenting Bac Ninh specialties and regional cuisine, including OCOP products, agricultural goods and traditional dishes such as Dinh Bang “Phu the” cake, Cho rice cake, Bui fermented pork roll, Ke rice cracker, Chu noodles and Duong Xa crab soup cake, attracting large numbers of visitors.

In addition, daily performances of traditional arts such as Quan ho folk singing and Dong Ngu water puppetry contribute to a vibrant cultural atmosphere, serving both residents and tourists.
