International Fireworks Festival in Da Nang
Đà Nẵng is pretty much one of the best cities in Vietnam chosen by flocks of Vietnamese when asked. Visiting the area, you are definitely amazed by countless destinations. They are the lovely gorgeous beaches with white sand under the sunshine that you can take a sunbath, also the city’s museums where you can walk around to learn more about a special community living hundreds of years in the Central of Vietnam. Besides, Da Nang is the city that you can try all the delicious local foods.
Apart from all these things, a festival in Da Nang is another reason that should be taken into account. Started since 2008, Danang International Fireworks Festival is a special event held every April on 29th or 30th with the aim of celebrating the Reunification Day and Labour Day of the country.
It has the participation of 3 to 4 foreign countries and Vietnam as a host country. This is the very first international fireworks competition in Vietnam. Once visiting Đà Nẵng on these special days, you should join with 25.000 people and witness the countries compete in a beautiful Fireworks competition.
In this year – 2017, as announced, the festival would be lasting for 2 months with the presence of 8 countries such as Austria, Australia, China, The UK, Switzerland, and Vietnam. The chosen topic this time would be named “Toa Sang Ngu Hanh Son”, which literally stands for 5 iconic mountains known as the city’s popular tourist attractions, called “Metal – Wood – Water – Fire – Earth”. The competition took place on 5 nights, on every Saturday and 3 teams with highest scores would be going to be announced on the last day June 24th, 2017, getting selected into the finale.
“3 containers of firecrackers will be handed to the teams and the maximum length of duration for each team’s performance is 25 minutes”- said Le Quy Duong, program’s director-in-chief.
Along with the main show, other activities such as Food Festival, Street Parade, Singing performance on stage are also the great highlights attracting visitors from all over the world.
