DIFF 2026: Excitement builds for the "Creativity" competition.

Continuing the success of the previous nights of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival - DIFF 2026, the fourth night of competition featured impressive performances from the German and Chinese teams, with the theme "Creativity" fiercely competing to create a spectacular light show.

According to Sun Group's media team, while the first three nights of the competition deeply depicted historical and cultural stories with a rich history and achievements, the fourth night (June 20, 2026) presented a new space, a space of imagination towards the future, with distinctly different colors and sounds. Both teams excelled in fulfilling this requirement.

The Steffes-Ollig Feuerwerke team (Germany) kicked off the competition night with a "fire-lighting" performance, painting a vibrant fireworks display across the Da Nang sky. Despite this being their first time participating in DIFF, the German team, with over 150 years of experience in fireworks design, showcased their strengths in structure, precision, and perfect synchronization between the music and each fireworks effect.

The audience was captivated by the precise, powerful light images and the modern approach to the performance.
