Hai Phong Book Street 2025 has 16 booths displaying, introducing and selling about 10,000 books in many genres such as children's books, science books, literature and art books from 15 major publishers and bookstores nationwide. The exciting activities at the book street along with a series of reading experiences here will contribute to bringing books closer to readers, forming reading habits, and improving the reading culture for people. The book street is a place where many cultural activities, tourism, social, cultural and educational events take place, meeting the needs of readers as well as the development requirements of the city.

Held from April 19 to May 20, in the Kim Dong flower garden, the Organizing Committee hopes that Book Street will become "a cultural specialty of the city"./.
