The event will start off with a "Barefoot Run" along the beach to promote environmental protection. This will be followed by the "Asian Battle Ground" audition to select a representative from Vietnam to compete at a hip hop competition in October in Malaysia. Cocofest 2016 also promises a free European style beer party and hundreds of other fun activities.
