The Hue Monuments Conservation Centre, together with the Phu Xuan Ward People’s Committee and the Bach Hoa Bo Hanh Project Group, recently brought Hue’s imperial heritage to life with the Hue 2026 floral parade, themed “A confluence of Vietnamese styles.”
The image of young people wearing traditional Vietnamese costumes in the modern fair setting conveys the project’s key message: traditional culture does not only exist in museums or solemn ceremonial spaces, but can be loved, preserved and integrated into contemporary life by young people through community-based activities such as parades or everyday wear.
The ‘Bach Hoa Bo Hanh,’ or the Parade of Flowers, is a procession of youngsters dressed in traditional Viet attire. This year marks the parade’s fourth edition with hundreds of participants.
