In keeping with the joyful atmosphere celebrating the success of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam , localities throughout the province are bustling with activities celebrating the Party and the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026. This is also a concrete effort to implement the resolutions of the Party congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term right from the beginning of the new year.

In Tam Hiep ward, the Party Secretary and Chairman of the People's Council, Nguyen Xuan Thanh, stated: The locality has promptly issued a plan for propaganda and urban landscape decoration. The focus is on the series of events including the Spring Flower Festival and cultural and sports activities taking place throughout the period from the 20th day of the 12th lunar month to the 5th day of Tet (Lunar New Year). This year's impressive highlight is concentrated along Duong Tu Giang street and park, featuring an artistic LED lighting system; over 30 peach and apricot blossom trees; a street brightly decorated with Party and national flags; and nearly 90 food stalls and traditional games.

“This systematic investment aims not only to beautify the urban landscape but also to create a cultural space that is both modern and rich in identity, helping people, especially the younger generation, to further appreciate and be proud of the traditional values ​​of the nation. Through this, the ward hopes to create a modern and vibrant space for people to visit and experience during the spring festival,” said Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thanh.

According to the plan of the People's Committee of Tran Bien Ward, for the celebration of the Party and the Lunar New Year 2026 (Year of the Horse), the ward will implement the Nguyen Van Tri flower street with the theme "Spring of Unity - Tet as One Family". The location will be at Nguyen Van Tri Park (from the intersection of Hoang Minh Chau and Nguyen Van Tri to Hoa An Bridge), with the flower street expected to have a total length of over 600m.

This is one of a series of activities on Nguyen Van Tri pedestrian street to celebrate the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 - February 3, 2026) and the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026. The overall flower street is designed into four decorative spaces with four central models and 13 smaller scenes, including: a space celebrating the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026; a Kid Zone; a cultural identity space; a space for Spring connection - a joyful Tet; and a cluster symbolizing success and aspiration for a prosperous and peaceful new year.
