Emotional Explosion

Coming to DIFF 2025, team Z121 Vina Pyrotech (Vietnam 2) dedicated a top-notch performance called “Aspiration to Rise”, elaborately staged with 5 chapters, evoking a journey of Da Nang from the past to the present and towards the future. Meanwhile, “Dragon Love - Love of the Dragon” by the Polish team continued to leave its mark, making the audience feel like they were watching a mythical movie. The performances of the two teams left many emotions in the hearts of the audience.

Ms. Nhu Hieu (Vietnamese expatriate in Singapore) shared that she arranged her work to return to Vietnam to take her parents from Phu Yen to Da Nang to immerse herself in the festival atmosphere of DIFF 2025. “I have had the opportunity to watch fireworks festivals in many countries, but this time I was really moved when I watched the Vietnam 2 team perform. The harmony between the melody and the fireworks technique reached its peak, so excellent. The climax was the moment when the Da Nang sky lit up in the image of the red flag with a yellow star recreated by fireworks, brilliant and full of pride. When the melody "Like having Uncle Ho on the happy day of great victory" rang out, I saw the whole stadium clapping. It was a sacred moment and there is rarely a performance at DIFF 2025 that makes the audience sing in unison, joining in with every beat of emotion like that. I think it is not just fireworks, it is culture, it is national pride".

Not only in the stands, thousands of spectators outside also exploded with emotion. Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan (Hai Chau district) said that Vietnam team 2 made the audience go from one surprise to another with the fireworks that continuously changed colors and was also the first team in the history of DIFF to use colored smoke fireworks. "Vietnam team 2 not only performed fireworks, but also aroused national pride with the art of light," said Mr. Tuan. Coming to Da Nang for the first time, tourist Kishore Raju (India) expressed his special impression of the fireworks festival. According to Mr. Kishore Raju, each team has its strengths, if the Vietnam team brings heroic emotions, the Polish team is gentle but no less profound, bringing a pleasant feeling to the audience. The Polish team brought epic symphonies such as Prophecy, The power of love, to love songs Dark side story, Epilogue, combined with unique fireworks effects. Spiral fireworks, high-altitude fireworks and cool blue, silver and purple color effects bring the audience into a mythical world where there is love and desire.

Ensuring security, order and traffic safety
After two competition nights, the security and order situation, traffic safety were ensured, creating favorable conditions for people and tourists to participate in the festival. The city's public security force coordinated with relevant units to well deploy order in the area around the stands; coordinate traffic on roads and bridges, avoid traffic jams, prevent accidents, fires, and minimize robberies and pickpockets. The Military Command coordinated to deploy teams to block, protect, and patrol; deploy the operation of the Emergency Response Command Center at DIFF 2025 in the shooting area. The city's Border Guard absolutely ensured security and safety underwater, minimizing the number of fishing vessels and unqualified vehicles carrying people to watch fireworks on the Han River; organized to prevent, guide, and promptly remind some fishing boats carrying people to watch fireworks in violation of regulations.
Hai Chau and Son Tra districts regularly patrol and handle the work of ensuring order, urban beauty, street vendors, and soliciting customers; promptly remind some cases of selling balloons, soft drinks, and renting seats to watch fireworks spontaneously in violation of regulations. In addition, check food hygiene and safety during DIFF 2025, post prices according to regulations and commercial civilization.

Good music, goes well with fireworks

Commenting on the second performance night of DIFF 2025, musician Nguyen Duc Trinh, Chairman of the Vietnam Musicians Association, member of the DIFF 2025 Jury, said that the Polish team was once honored as the “Most Creative Fireworks Team” at DIFF 2023 and this time, they maintained their form as a strong team in fireworks competitions from the past to the present, a team that always chooses very good music, very suitable for fireworks. The Vietnamese team 2 participated for the first time but made a strong impression on the audience with many emotions; this can be considered a quite good performance and was highly appreciated.

Not only impressed by the two competing teams, DIFF 2025 also left in the hearts of every citizen and tourist the image of the beautiful, developing and rising city of Da Nang as a destination for international events and festivals. For the couple Aleksandr - Julia (Russian), they chose Da Nang for their long vacation because this is an attractive destination with beautiful beaches, friendly and hospitable people. “We went on a program that combined vacation and watching fireworks in Da Nang. It was a surprise because Da Nang organized such a wonderful fireworks festival. It was even more wonderful when, in the moment the whole sky was filled with fireworks, I received a romantic proposal from my boyfriend. Da Nang will be a wonderful mark in my life,” Julia happily said.

For Mr. Le Huu Chinh (a tourist from Hanoi), DIFF not only has fireworks but also a unique art program and attractive technology. Mr. Chinh said that he had seen drone performances in the sky but this was the first time he used AR virtual reality technology outdoors through the Sun Paradise Land application. From this technology, he saw Da Nang culture in the night sky such as the statue of Buddha Quan The Am in Son Tra, Golden Bridge, Dragon Bridge, Thuan Phuoc Bridge... This was also a memorable experience for him during his visit to Da Nang and he hopes that there will be many large and unique festivals organized by the city in the coming time.

New artistic breeze at the stage by the Han River
Enhancing the artistic experience, the second competition night of DIFF 2025 brings a youthful and vibrant "grand music festival". Participating are promising young faces who are gradually asserting their own mark in the Vietnamese music market such as Tang Duy Tan, violinist Trinh Minh Hien... and hundreds of domestic and international artists. The vibrant, youthful and "trendy" songs create an attractive artistic party on the banks of the Han River. The innovation in the selection of artists, song list and stage choreography of DIFF 2025 brings a fresh and impressive breeze. Meritorious Artist Quang Hao, Director of Trung Vuong Theater, artistic director of DIFF 2025, said that with the scale of this year's festival, the theater will bring about 100 artists on stage, about 200 backstage staff each night, and for each stage, there will be about 2-3 famous stars performing, so that every stage leaves an unforgettable impression on the audience.
