‘Coffee metropolis' to host biennial festival
Visitors to the fourth biennial Coffee Festival in Buon Ma Thuot City in the Dak Lak Province will have the chance to immerse themselves in the culture-soaked region while enjoying the delights of thousands of coffee brands.
Scheduled to take place at the city's Biet Dien Museum from March 9-13, the festival is both a cultural event and a tribute to coffee - the area's speciality - hoping to promote its important role in the region’s socio-economic development.
A 30-minute art show entitled Dang Hien Ca Phe (Coffee Offering) and gong performances will be showcased at the festival.
Meanwhile, coffee growers in the province will gather to compete in a contest testing their knowledge of coffee.
Dubbed "Viet Nam's coffee metropolis", Dak Lak contributes 60 per cent of the national coffee production.
The festival will gather about 200 coffee enterprises across the country to demonstrate their latest products, as well as age-old favourites.
Nearly one million people visited the third coffee festival in 2011 and organisers are hoping for an even bigger turnout this time around.
