Fireworks display by Da Nang team.
On the evening of May 31, the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival - DIFF 2025 officially opened with the theme night "Cultural Essence."
Attending the ceremony were Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Duc Hai, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong, leaders of central and local ministries and tens of thousands of people and tourists.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee Le Trung Chinh said that carrying the message "Da Nang - New Era", this year's Da Nang International Fireworks Festival is a harmony of light, music , and technology to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Da Nang City, the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South, and the reunification of the country.
This is also an opportunity for Da Nang to affirm its aspiration and determination to rise up, affirming its brand as “Asia’s leading event and festival city,” continuing to attract domestic and international friends.
This year, festivalgoers will enjoy a multi-sensory art "feast" of music, light and AR technology with unique and unprecedented experiences.
In particular, the dramatic "collision" between the host fireworks team Da Nang and the defending champion Finland created a brilliant Asian-European cultural reunion in the sky of Da Nang.
With home field advantage and performing first, host Da Nang made the stands by the Han River burst with emotion and pride.
For more than 20 minutes, more than 5,000 fireworks simultaneously sublimated, intertwined with music into a magnificent symphony of light, sending a spirited greeting to the people and tourists.

The performance with 4 chapters, from leading, gentle to sublime, explosive, recounted the journey of Vietnamese culture reaching the world with the beloved image of the country, the image of Ngu Hanh Son and the ocean waves, as if sending a message of connection and identity of Da Nang.
The Finnish team's performance of "Nordic Lights" brought a deep and intense atmosphere.
At the beginning of the performance, the audience was immediately drawn into the emotional flow of the story about a people living among thousands of islands in the middle of the ocean and ice.
From the surface of the Han River, the fireworks shoot up from the water, glide gently, then suddenly erupt violently like waves hitting the cliffs... The audience couldn't help but be delighted when they heard the melody of the song "Bong Van Hoa" by singer Phuong My Chi.
The fan-shaped, swirling clusters of fireworks, like flying storks, create a magical moment of intersection between two cultures...
Present in the stands very early, Mr. Lear Rof from Sweden said: “I really like fireworks festivals, so this year I decided to come to Da Nang to experience the DIFF festival. The atmosphere was great, the performances were explosive and the people were friendly and hospitable, I was very satisfied with this trip.”
Besides the intense competition of light and sound from the competing teams, the audience coming to the opening ceremony also enjoyed a unique artistic space.
For the first time at the fireworks festival, large-scale outdoor AR technology via the Sun Paradise Land application.
Not only integrating vivid graphic effects right on each ticket, the AR experience also extends to the entire poetic Han River space.
Crowds of people and tourists enjoyed the fireworks displays of the two teams on the opening night.
The outdoor virtual reality system has a "huge" scale with a coverage of up to 600,000m2 and nearly 10 million pixels.
This is the largest outdoor AR system ever applied to a cultural-tourism event in Vietnam. Just by holding up their phones, the audience can see the Cham towers, admire the graceful Cham dances, and the image of Whales swimming in the night sky of Da Nang...
The opening night of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival 2025 officially kicked off a series of 6 fireworks shows from May 21 to July 12, marking the longest and most spectacular festival season in the 15-year history of this festival.
