The event has been organized by Craft Link, a Hanoi-based organization which helps traditional handicraft producers to revive their culture and improve their livelihoods through production and marketing.

The Handicraft Bazaar 2015 will gather ethnic minorities from different parts of Vietnam who wish to sell their exotic products and demonstrate their traditional skills, Craft Link said in a statement.

Selected artisans from around Hanoi and disadvantaged groups will showcase their wares as well. The event will feature a raffle, craft-making demonstration and dancing performances.

The Bazaar is an event that producers look forward to and are carefully prepared for. Hanoi residents as well as tourists find the November bazaar an ideal place to shop for Christmas.

It aims to preserve traditional culture, help handicraft producers increase their income and develop a sustainable value chain through finding more markets for their products and to improve people’s awareness of cultural and economic values of Vietnamese traditional handicrafts./.
