After nearly two decades of organization, DIFF still affirms its strong attraction.

On the main stage, the "prime" location to admire the fireworks display, more than 10,000 seats were filled early. me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river

Not disappointing the audience’s expectations, the home team made an impressive “debut” with a 20-minute performance. More than 5,000 fireworks were programmed to match the music to the second, creating an aerial symphony to welcome visitors to DIFF and the Han River city on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Da Nang. me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river

With four shows: Blending - Honoring - Integrating - Pioneering & Glory, the Da Nang fireworks team used more than 100 unique fireworks effects to tell the story of a Vietnam with a strong identity, always proud of its national cultural traditions, but also constantly changing, creating and reaching out for integration. me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river

With clear improvements in music and fireworks display techniques, the home team's "opening" performance is considered one of the most impressive performances of Da Nang since participating in DIFF until now. me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river

Ms. Kim Lien, a resident of Da Nang, emotionally shared: “I am truly proud of the children of Da Nang city. This year’s fireworks are so beautiful, the music is also very attractive. Every year my family buys tickets to the stands to cheer for the home team, it has been an indispensable part of our summer.” me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river

In particular, with the background music of Stormskärs Maja, which has a strong hometown sound, the water cannon - the "secret weapon" that helped them win the championship once again satisfied the audience with the powerful columns of light erupting from the water surface, as vivid as waves crashing against the cliff. me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river

The Finnish team also unexpectedly included a fireworks show with the Vietnamese music Bong phu hoa – Vu tru co bay, as a response to the hospitable greeting of the coastal city of Da Nang. A delicate and emotional Asian-European harmony, making many audiences admire and enjoy.

Member of the jury, musician Nguyen Duc Trinh, Chairman of the Vietnam Musicians Association, shared after the opening night: “As someone who has followed DIFF for a long time, I feel that the performance of the Vietnamese team has many innovations compared to last year, while the Finnish team still maintains good form in their performance. Both teams have handled the music very well. Both performances have skillfully used melodies that are both international and imbued with national traditions. This year's DIFF 2025 season will certainly bring the audience many interesting and surprising things.” me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river

All impressively recreate the spirit, culture and historical depth of Da Nang. me-man-admiring-the-light-on-the-sky-of-the-han-river
