Check-in clusters with unique and novel models are arranged by the City Department of Tourism at both ends of the Dragon Bridge. In particular, the Christmas tree model has an impressive height, decorated with thousands of brilliant LED lights, modern light patterns and traditional red and green Christmas balls. The highlight of the festival is the Christmas tree lighting every night, combined with laser light shows and lively music , creating a fun space full of Christmas spirit.

In addition, the festival also organizes a European-style Christmas market, where people and visitors can enjoy typical festive dishes, from gingerbread, German sausages or choose to buy lovely handmade gifts. The stalls also sell many handicraft products to connect traditional Vietnamese culture with the international festival atmosphere. In addition, the program also arranges a play area for children, such as a snow house or performances by clowns and circus artists. In particular, a Santa Claus parade will walk on Bach Dang walking street, bringing surprise gifts to children, as well as conveying messages of love and connecting the community.

Scheduled to take place from December 14 to January 2, 2025, the Christmas tree lighting festival is not only an entertainment event but also an opportunity for city residents to shop at the end of the year at the handicraft, souvenir, and OCOP market. In addition to the culinary space with more than 100 typical dishes, Da Nang also launched preferential programs on tourism services to welcome the new year 2025. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai An, Deputy Director of the City Department of Tourism, hopes that the program will become an annual festival, contributing to enriching the cultural and spiritual life of the city's residents at the end of the year.
