On the evening of April 30, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City announced the suspension of the performance of 10,500 drones on the Saigon River, the area between Ben Bach Dang Park (District 1) and Saigon Riverside Park (Thu Duc City). This is an activity within the framework of the art and sports program "Colors of Uncle Ho's City" , celebrating the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification.

Accordingly, at 9:20 p.m. on April 30, the organizing unit began to demonstrate the drone in the sky. However, due to widespread interference, there was a possibility of unsafe flight, the unit decided to stop the flight and retrieve the drone to ensure safety.

Notably, according to the announcement from the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City, the drone show scheduled to take place on May 1 will also be canceled.

Previously, as planned, the display of 10,500 drones on April 30 would conclude the series of activities celebrating the 50th anniversary of national reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).

This is the largest gathering of drones in the country. The event organizers have filed a proposal to set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of drones performing at the same time.

During the rehearsal on April 28, the performance caused controversy when it spent a large amount of time paying sponsors. Specifically, in more than 7 minutes of performance, the organizers spent about 5 minutes creating images related to the VNPAY unit.
