Get in the festive spirit
DIFF 2025 takes place from May 31 to July 12, which is also the time when students are on summer vacation, so it attracts the attention of locals and tourists. Mr. Doan Duy Khanh (Hoa Cuong Bac ward, Hai Chau district) said that the festival takes place right on the occasion of students' summer vacation, so it is very convenient for the whole family to watch the fireworks. Every year, each competing team has performances with its own theme, making the audience not feel bored. "The unique and vibrant combination of top-notch fireworks with romantic and vibrant music melodies makes viewers feel like they are lost in a magical space with a colorful and interesting world. Many teams have impressive performances with unique techniques and effects combining fireworks and water. DIFF 2025 with the theme "Da Nang - New Era", I hope to enjoy multi-layered experiences that are attractive, new and full of emotions", Mr. Khanh confided.
At this time, many tourists are in Da Nang to watch the fireworks. Ms. Tran Truc Phuong (from Ho Chi Minh City) said that in recent years, her family often chooses the right time for fireworks to travel to Da Nang. According to Ms. Phuong, coming to Da Nang at this time, you can not only watch the fireworks but also immerse yourself in the vibrant, bustling atmosphere because there are many accompanying cultural and entertainment events. Meanwhile, Mr. Jongrak Choi (from Seoul, South Korea) said that he first traveled to Vietnam in 2018 and since then he has been traveling between South Korea and Vietnam regularly. “This summer I traveled to Da Nang and was very lucky to see the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival. We were very happy and excited to know that this year there was a team participating in the fireworks competition from Korea. We expect the team to bring to the Da Nang audience parties of light combined with special Kpop hits. With the theme “Cultural Essence”, we hope this year’s competition will showcase many attractive performances and bring many unexpected and anticipated elements,” said Jongrak Choi.

Endless source of emotions
According to records, many audiences come to DIFF not only because of the attractive fireworks display but also because it evokes artistic emotions. Photographer Vo Van Phi Long (Hoi An city, Quang Nam ) said that this is the 5th time he has participated in DIFF. “I still have the same feelings as when I was working on the first fireworks festival with a film camera. Although I have been through many fireworks seasons, each time I press the shutter, I have a different feeling of excitement when waiting for the colorful light streaks from the competing teams. For me, the most interesting thing about working on the fireworks festival is capturing beautiful moments when the colorful light streaks blend together, creating interesting shapes,” said Long.
Meanwhile, Ms. Le Thi Doan (Gia Lai province) shared that last summer, she took her family to Da Nang, because she could not buy tickets, she just joined the crowd along both sides of the Han River to watch. In these positions, she could only see high-altitude fireworks, but that was an unforgettable feeling. “I asked the people around me who were locals but I go to watch every year. I think it is not just fireworks, it is also the festival atmosphere. Sometimes I just need that, need a joyful atmosphere, like seeing strangers but sharing the same joy, the burst of emotions when standing under the brilliant sky of fireworks. This year, I returned to Da Nang just to join that crowd,” Ms. Doan expressed.

There are many tourists like Ms. Doan, who every year choose to enjoy fireworks as a goal to learn more about the land, people and culture of Da Nang. According to Mr. Nguyen Nhu Hung (a tourist from Nha Trang), fireworks are actually held every year in provinces and cities on Tet or big events, but they become large-scale festivals, with artistic performances, only at DIFF. The feeling of sitting on the stands, seeing fireworks sometimes sparkling like the Milky Way, sometimes like a sea of sparkling stars, in each melody, sometimes melodious, sometimes calm, sometimes vibrant... is enough to see its magic. For student Nguyen Thanh Nhat (Faculty of Literature - Communication, University of Education, University of Da Nang), the annual fireworks festival is an attractive event and has great significance for Da Nang tourism. The gathering of many teams from countries around the world with many eye-catching fireworks displays makes Thanh Nhat very excited, especially waiting to know which team will be crowned champion of DIFF 2025.
Special art program with the participation of many famous artists The art program of the opening night of DIFF 2025 with the participation of famous artists such as singer Tung Duong, singer Kieu Anh, young singers with powerful voices loved by young people such as Nguyen Tran Trung Quan, Thu Hang... The new point of the program is the art performances with national cultural colors, which is the connection between the glorious past of Da Nang and the proud present. Besides the unique cultural identity of the city of bridges, the audience can also enjoy the cultural beauty of Finland through dance performances by international artists. Not only stopping at the music, this year's DIFF also treats the audience with a magnificent space and the ultimate combination of technology and sound. The stage of DIFF 2025 has the largest area and the most modern technology investment in the history of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival, bringing unprecedented flexibility in shaping. In particular, the new generation of LED floor technology and upgraded surround sound will optimize the visual and auditory experience for the audience in every corner of the stands. In particular, DIFF 2025 has made a strong shift in digital transformation to bring a more comprehensive and convenient experience to visitors. The Sun Paradise Land (SPL) application will become a powerful "digital assistant", allowing users to personalize their Da Nang exploration schedule, quickly book fireworks tickets and experience AR technology on paper tickets and Sky AR on the Han River sky. With a performance area of up to 600,000m² and about 10 million pixels, Sky AR turns the sky into a giant "stage", to admire the cultural symbols and typical architecture of Da Nang through interesting graphic effects. With large-scale investment from stage, sound, lighting to performing artists and technology, DIFF 2025 promises to bring a top-notch, inspiring art and entertainment event, warming up the atmosphere before the brilliant fireworks light up the Da Nang sky. |
