XÕA - Bite into Hanoi vibes

   A miniature Hanoi street grows for one afternoon: snack stalls, a craft corner, a photo zone, board game tables and a live music stage — all folded into the ground floor of a university in Cầu Giấy. Early Bird tickets sold out before the doors opened, and this is the very first event the XÕA SPACE team has run.

   What sets PHỐ XÕA apart is that it is laid out as a route rather than a hall: one ticket walks you through every stop, and each stop is its own experience — food, colouring, photos, games, music and a prize draw.

   The stops along PHỐ XÕA
— JOURNEY MAP — the route map: collect a stamp at every stop to complete the journey
— HÀNG QUÀ VẶT — the food area with Hanoi street snacks, served alongside the stories behind each familiar flavour
— BÉ TẬP TÔ MÀU — a colouring corner: finish your own postcard inspired by Hanoi cuisine with colours, stickers and your own drawing
— XÚNG XÍNH WITH XUÂN — the photo zone: ticket holders get priority early check-in with Xuân Xúng Xính
— VỈA HÈ — a “pavement” chill-out space with board games, conversation and the lively mood of XÕA
— NHẠC SỐNG — the live stage, young and upbeat, keeping the rhythm of the afternoon
— LUCKY DRAW — complete the Journey Map for a shot at the draw; the organisers keep the prizes secret until the reveal

   It suits people who like eating their way through a place and hearing where the dish came from, groups who want an afternoon that does not involve sitting still, and students around Cầu Giấy. Ticket or no ticket, PHỐ XÕA stays open: the three zones VỈA HÈ, XÚNG XÍNH WITH XUÂN and NHẠC SỐNG are completely free throughout. The ticket is what you need for the full route — Journey Map, the snack stalls, the colouring corner and the Lucky Draw.

   A street that lives for one afternoon and then folds itself away. Worth catching while it is there.
