A street carnival of live music and dancing will take place on the last Saturday of every month between 8pm and 9.30pm along a section of Tran Hung Dao between its intersections with Ly Nam De and Trieu Viet Vuong in Son Tra District.

Street artistes in eye-catching costumes will deliver both Vietnamese and international music performances across different musical genres, including paso doble, rumba, tango, cha-cha, salsa and disco.
