Which festivals must be registered with the District-level People's Committee in Vietnam? What documents are included in the application for registration of festival organization in Vietnam?
I am living in Da Nang and the owner of an individual household business in district X. We are in the business of producing traditional bamboo and rattan products. This year, as my business is also good, I want to organize a festival for many communes in district X to join and exchange experiences among professional establishments. I want to know where I can register it as this is my first time to organize a festival. What documents are included in the application for registration of festival organization?
Thank you!
