The 2014 Southern Fruit Festival is set to run from Sunday, June 1 to June 8 at an entertainment complex in Ho Chi Minh City.

This year’s festival, to mark the 10th anniversary of the event, will take place at Suoi Tien Amusement Park, 120 Hanoi Highway, Tan Phu Ward, District 9.

The festival will feature a wide range of activities including a 70-stall fruit floating market. The stalls are boats which offer more than 180 kinds of fruits which can last for over three months, at prices 20-40% lower than market prices.

On exhibit will also be a collection of rare, huge fruits and bulbous roots gathered from across the country, as well as more than 100 fruit landscape models which span over 200m.

The festival will also feature Delicious, Safe Fruit, and Fruit Sculpture Competitions.

According to the organizers, several participating artisans are planning to create a fruit installation artwork themed “Dien Bien Phu on sea” to boost the morale of soldiers who are fighting to safeguard Vietnam’s sovereignty over seas and islands.

Visitors can take buses 33 or 76 or ride their own bikes to Suoi Tien Amusement Park.
