Through the festival, Van Yen wishes to restore, promote, and introduce traditional culinary dishes in the district to people and tourists; continue discovering new delicious ones to add to the list of the district’s typical dishes; and promote cooperation to develop the production and processing of local cuisine to serve the task of developing services and tourism./.
