Mid-Autumn Festival commerce and regulation in Vietnam

Overview

In mid-August 2026, Hanoi hosted the 11th edition of the ‘Vietnamese Goods Vitality’ program in the Hoan Kiem district. The festival, themed ‘Rằm rộ phố cổ - Hà Nội trong tôi’, aimed to showcase traditional crafts, cuisine, and cultural products such as mooncakes and traditional toys in preparation for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The initiative sought to connect local artisans with consumers through both physical shopping and digital platforms.

Following the festival period, Vietnamese authorities intensified inspections of food and consumer goods to ensure safety ahead of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In Hanoi, market surveillance teams conducted inspections that resulted in fines and the destruction of non-compliant confectionery, mooncakes, and children's toys. Additionally, in Bac Ninh province, police seized and ordered the destruction of a large quantity of undocumented animal products.
