The event will be jointly organised by Hanoi authorities with the support of the UNESCO Office in Hanoi, the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat), and other international organisations.

Themed “Flow”, the event will spotlight the Red River, which is considered a vital thread connecting historical, cultural, socio-economic values of the capital city.

The program will include a "heritage flow" photo exhibition, an exhibition showcasing creative architectural works, experiential and creative activities, and art performances.

There will also be activities at cultural heritage sites and traditional craft villages in the city. 

The festival will take place in the Old Quarter, Long Bien Railway Station, Long Bien Bridge, Gia Lam Railway Station, and Gia Lam Train Factory.
