In the first working days of March, female officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers across Bac Ninh province joyfully wore graceful ao dai to respond to “Ao Dai Week.” From March 1, Kinh Bac ward and Hoang Van commune became more vibrant and lively as women wore ao dai of various colors to work. Taking advantage of arriving early, many gathered at the office gates to take photos and capture elegant moments in traditional attire.
In Yen The commune, the Commune Women’s Union launched “Traditional Ethnic Costume Week 2026.” The week ran from March 2 to March 8, 2026, calling on female cadres, union members, civil servants, teachers, female youth union members, and women of all backgrounds in the commune to actively participate by wearing ao dai or appropriate traditional ethnic costumes, taking photos, and sharing beautiful images on social media.
Alongside wearing ao dai and traditional ethnic costumes, during “Ao Dai Week,” Women’s Unions at all levels also organized mass folk dance performances on March 8, 2026, at public spaces and cultural-historical sites, featuring Vietnamese songs praising the Party, President Ho Chi Minh, and the homeland.
