The market takes place on Nguyen Phuc Chu Street and is a part of the series of events to celebrate the new year. It is the busiest at night with 40-50 stalls offering souvenirs, hand-made products, street food and agricultural products. It offers a chance for household businesses, co-operatives and various small businesses to exchange experiences and find new opportunities.
To welcome the new year, the businesses and authorities in Hoi An will organise a Wake Up and Visit Hoi An 2021 Programme with a range of activities. It is promised that there will be more check-in locations for visitors with different themes such as the lantern-lit old town, streets and flowers or on the pier and on the boat.
