Festival «Làng Biển Tân Thành 2026» (Tan Thanh Block Fest)

   A community-run seaside fair on the coast just outside Hoi An's ancient town: stalls of vintage goods and homemade produce, food from the Quang region, sailing boats heading out, street performers and hands-on craft workshops. If your picture of Hoi An is lanterns and the pedestrian old town, this weekend offers the coastal version.

   The theme is a «Sea Festival», built around a link that runs from the coast up to the mountain communities of the Quang region. Organisers expect 80–100 booths — vintage goods, handicrafts, homemade products, OCOP-certified specialities and food — and around 1,000 domestic and international visitors across the two days.

   Worth knowing before you go:

• — Hands-on: painting conical hats, making areca-palm fans, craft workshops.
• — On the water: sailing off Tân Thành beach with Hoi An Flow.
• — Street performances and a dance programme by FitOi.
• — Guest destinations with their own stands: Trung tâm Bảo tồn Di sản Văn hóa Thế giới Hội An, Khu đền tháp Mỹ Sơn (My Son Sanctuary), Cổng Trời Đông Giang, Làng sinh thái Đại Bình, Bãi Sậy Sông Đầm, Làng cổ Lộc Yên and Trà Vân commune.
• — Talks on community-based tourism, local value and green destinations, aimed at people working in the field.

   It suits families with children, who get their own programme; anyone who likes weekend markets and handmade things; and travellers curious about how a fishing village runs tourism on its own terms.

   The Tân Thành fishing village tourism community and its weekend market hold the ASEAN Community-Based Tourism Award and a 4-star OCOP certification. The festival is organised by the market's management board — a founding member of the Quang Land Destinations Club under the Da Nang Tourism Association — together with Sao Biển Xanh Co. and community members, and it is funded entirely by the community itself.

   The market runs on local, safe, low-plastic principles and doubles as the launch of the «Chợ Xanh xứ Quảng» (Green Market of Quang Land) initiative. Bring a refillable bottle and a cloth bag and you are already playing along.

   Two days by the sea, a short ride from the old town — worth clearing a morning for.
