The 2011 Spring Press Festival will be held at the Youth Culture House in District 1, HCM City on January 20-21.

It will have 45 booths of central and local news agencies, displaying 200 different kinds of products in such fields as print, radio, television and online newspapers and magazines.

Within the framework of the festival, other activities such as art performance, comedy, circus, and magic show, food festival and health consultancy, will take place.

The organising board will give prizes to the best decorated booth and the most beautiful work.

In particular, a new road of books will take shape on Mac Thi Buoi Street, mainly for children to welcome 2011 as the Year for Children.

This will provide a good opportunity for publishing houses, advertisement companies and news agencies to introduce their new publications.
