Every year, the Canal District (area where Grandview and Garden Plaza are) in Phu My Hung is beautifully lit up for the Christmas season.
We try to go every year. Well, I try to drag my family along. I love the bazaar and my eldest loves the lights. My husband well….
This opened last weekend. And this weekend they’re open again.
Sadly though, it’s not as great as the previous years. I’m not sure if this weekend will be better. Last weekend, there weren’t much vendors and just a few food cart options.
The display wasn’t as impressive too.
I did enjoy listening to the musicians who came to play and regale the crowd with pop songs…
and the anh oi selling cotton candy. π
Is it worth going to? Well, at least once I guess and if you have kids, the kids will still love the lights display.
Hi Lyra, thank you for your post. This year is the 1st time we attempt to hold a big event through xmas. However, since PMH did not allow us to sell street clothes and food, we can only focus on handmade stuff and accessories tomorrow. The scale will be smaller, but with better decoration. We are hanging around 300 dream catchers, start from around 2PM. This year, we also invite the “Only rice is not enough” programme to sell charity stuff, starts from 3PM to 10PM. Please see the link below to have more info abt the programme.

Again, tks for your feedback π
I am familiar with Rice is Not Enough. Am glad you’re supporting them! π
I love the web of life. This is so great of a journey from my chair.
From the heart of America, I wish you the best of holidays!
Peace and luvz, Uncle Tree β²
