According to the Brand & Public Opinion Reporter on May 30, the weather in the coastal city of Da Nang was hot and sunny during the day, and at night, especially near dawn, there were showers in many places, making the weather cool, very favorable for the two teams Finland and Vietnam to sprint. At the fireworks area (Bach Dang Street), the Vietnam 1 and Finland teams were rushing to prepare the artillery positions for the opening night of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2025, which will take place on the evening of May 31.
With the theme “Cultural Essence”, the opening night was an impressive meeting between two fireworks teams from two continents: the host team Da Nang (Vietnam 1) and the reigning champion JoHo Pyro Professional Fireworks AB from Finland.
Together, they will write a colorful and emotional opening chapter for a DIFF that is expected to be the most spectacular in the 15-year history of the Da Nang international fireworks brand.
The opening night of DIFF 2025 promises to bring viewers eye-catching, surprising performances.
“Da Nang – New Era”
As the host, the Da Nang International Fireworks Team continues to be the first to “fire” the first shot of this year’s DIFF season. Having been involved with the festival for nearly 15 years, the team from the city on the Han River will bring a performance called “Cultural Essence” – a symphony of light and sound elaborately staged to recreate the Vietnamese identity in the journey of 50 years of the city’s liberation.
The performance lasted more than 20 minutes, divided into 4 distinct parts, using thousands of fireworks programmed precisely to the second, synchronized with the music melody. The combination of unique national music and familiar international songs not only honored the beauty of Vietnamese culture, but also reflected the spirit of integration and openness of the coastal city of Da Nang, a young and dynamic city in the "Era of Rising".
Mr. Nghia Hoang - captain of the Da Nang fireworks team shared: "We want to use the language of music and fireworks to introduce to friends around the world a Vietnam that is rich in identity but also modern, ready to connect and develop." "More than just a competition, the Da Nang team represents the spirit of creativity, the desire to rise up and is a cultural symbol of the city - a festival destination, of peace and innovation.
With large-scale investment from stage, sound, lighting to performing artists and technology, DIFF 2025 promises to bring a top-notch art and entertainment event.
DIFF 2024 Champion returns, bringing "aurora" to light up the sky of Da Nang
If the Da Nang team is a story of national pride, JoHo Pyro - the reigning DIFF 2024 champion from Finland - brings a completely different world with a performance called "Nordic Lights". Inspired by the aurora phenomenon in Northern Europe, the Finnish team's performance is an emotional journey through music and light, recreating the ancient life of fishermen living in the harsh but poetic sea.
Set to the Stormskärs Maja theme – a melody associated with the traditional Finnish fishing village, JoHo Pyro creates a fusion of modern pyrotechnics, unique water cannons and a distinct musical taste – from rock to pop. This daring combination helped them win the championship last season and is now expected to continue to create surprises at DIFF 2025.
Mr. John Dan Erik Holllaender, representative of the Finnish team, said that although we have participated in many competitions around the world, we have found that the fireworks stage in Da Nang is one of the top stages in the world. Although the weather is quite hot, we still try to stay healthy to be ready for the "opening party" night with the best spirit.
Famous artists appear and many new features at the opening night of DIFF 2025
In particular, the opening night also brought the audience a special art party, with the appearance of famous and talented artists such as: Singer Tung Duong, singer Kieu Anh, Nguyen Tran Trung Quan and Thu Hang.

The list of art performances on the opening night was particularly diverse and featured distinct cultural colors, connecting the glorious past of the coastal city of Da Nang with the proud present.
Besides the unique cultural identity of the city of bridges, the audience watching the opening fireworks night will see the cultural beauty of Finland, through dance performances performed by international artists, creating an artistic party that promises to be as attractive and colorful as the fireworks blooming in the night sky by the poetic Han River of the coastal city of Da Nang.
Not only stopping at the music, this year's DIFF also treats the audience with a magnificent space and a top-notch combination of technology and sound.
The DIFF 2025 stage is the largest in scale and investment in the history of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival, offering 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 audiences in every corner of the stands.
A special highlight of DIFF is the strong transformation 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 sky of Da Nang.
Visitors to Da Nang this time will have memorable moments, where art explodes and dreams soar together in the sky of the Han River city.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Vice Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, said that DIFF 2025 with many innovations and breakthroughs will open a new era of Da Nang fireworks, marking a stronger development period of Da Nang City in the era of the Vietnamese nation's rise: "As the organizer of DIFF, the People's Committee of Da Nang City will continue to research and invest in further upgrading DIFF, so that Da Nang is worthy of the brand "Destination of leading events and festivals in Asia".
The opening night of DIFF 2025 will be broadcast live on VTV1 at 8:10 p.m. on May 31. The event is organized by the People's Committee of Da Nang City, with the main sponsorship of Sun Group.
