The Traditional Myanmar Market Fair, organized by the Myanmar Cultural Heritage Trust-MCHT, drew large crowds of local visitors and foreign tourists on its final day at the Yangon Convention Centre (YCC) on the Inya Lake Hotel grounds in Mayangon Township.
The closing day featured an array of activities, including a discussion panel titled “Myanmar Food and Nutrition”, an interactive cultural quiz with prizes, lucky draws, traditional snack-making demonstrations, and cultural dance performances representing various ethnic groups.
Across the venue, 155 stalls were divided into three main sections: Zone A for fast food, Zone B for regional food products, and Zone C for local handicrafts and consumer goods from across the country.
An event official noted that the festival serves as a vital showcase of Myanmar’s heritage, beliefs, craftsmanship, and culinary culture. Beyond passing down traditional customs to younger generations, the gathering provided local farmers, artisans, and vendors a platform to promote regional goods while fostering community well-being. — Naing Lin Aung (IPRD)/ST
