In addition to sampling classic b\u00e1nh m\u00ec side by side, the event included a program on baguettes and croissants organized in cooperation with the French Chamber of Commerce. The layout allowed visitors to see both Vietnamese and French bread-making techniques in the same venue.<\/p>\n<p>The name \"Pagett Award\" that appeared in the original text did not match official information. In practice, contests for \"Best Baguette\" and \"Best Croissant\" were held, with judging based on criteria such as baking technique, texture, flavor, and appearance. Names that could not be verified have been removed and replaced with details confirmed after the event.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How food hygiene was maintained in the heat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Late April in Ho Chi Minh City is hot, making proper handling of perishable fillings such as p\u00e2t\u00e9 and pickled vegetables essential. The organizers worked with the city's food safety authority to conduct pre-event training, verify participation requirements, and carry out spot checks during the event. It was reported that some small operators withdrew from participation after failing to meet the conditions. Alongside the attendance figures, how safety was ensured at a hot outdoor event is an important aspect of this edition.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Event results<\/strong><\/h2>\n<table><thead><tr><th>Item<\/th><th>Details<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Dates<\/td><td>Thursday, April 23 to Sunday, April 26, 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Venue<\/td><td>Le Van Tam Park (Ho Chi Minh City)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Number of booths<\/td><td>Approx. 150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Visitors<\/td><td>About 250,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Organizer<\/td><td>Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Association<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n<h2><strong>If travelers plan to attend next time<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While the festival lets you compare many vendors at once, popular stalls attract long queues. If you plan to attend a future edition, choose the evening to avoid the midday heat, keep water on hand, and share items among several people rather than overeating from the start \u2014 this makes it easier to get around. Prices, vendors, and opening hours change from year to year, so do not use figures from the previous year's articles in your itinerary; check the organizers' latest announcements instead.<\/p>\n<p>Reference:<a href=\"https:\/\/thanhnien.vn\/le-hoi-banh-mi-mua-4-thu-hut-luong-khach-ki-luc-185260513112721633.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thanh Ni\u00ean (event results)<\/a>\u3001<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccifv.org\/en\/vietnam\/more-details\/news\/retour-sur-le-banh-mi-festival-2026.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CCI France Vietnam<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the update date<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the update date in the body of the article, not just the search result excerpt.
