The 2026 New Year's Eve event in Ho Chi Minh City will receive two Vietnamese records.

The series of events celebrating the New Year 2026 in many localities, including Nguyen Hue pedestrian street (Ho Chi Minh City), attracted a total of more than 36,000 participants, setting a Vietnamese record for the number of attendees.

According to the organizers, a total of 36,498 people directly participated in interactive activities during the series of events in three locations: Dong Thap, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dak Lak . This number has been recognized by the Vietnam Record Organization as the New Year's Eve event series with the largest number of participants in interactive activities on a digital platform to date.

The Tiger Remix 2026 New Year's Eve countdown event is an annual event organized by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, in coordination with the Department of Culture and Sports and other relevant departments and agencies, with the participation of many social organizations.

On Nguyen Hue pedestrian street, the central square area is always packed with people. Locals and tourists gather to watch art and music performances, and participate in activities that evoke the atmosphere of early spring.

Unlike previous years, this year's event series combines live on stage activities with interactive experiences through digital platforms. Attendees can not only watch performances but also participate in challenges and games related to the theme of picking lucky branches at the beginning of the year, contributing to increased connection between participants and the event space.

Besides the record for the number of participants, the series of events also set another record: the largest New Year's banner in Vietnam.

The largest New Year's banner in Vietnam will be displayed on New Year's Eve 2026.

In the context of Ho Chi Minh City promoting event tourism and night-time economy, New Year's celebrations, music festivals, and street art performances are considered important products that help extend the length of stay for tourists, while also creating more community spaces for local people.
