When fireworks light up the sky, it’s more than just a show—it’s a celebration of unity, pride, and the powerful spirit of a people looking to the future.
On June 30th, 2025, Da Nang put on a spectacular display of music and lights that brought together thousands under one banner: “Da Nang – Soaring with the Nation”. Coordinated by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism along with Sun Group and other esteemed partners, the evening was both a visual feast and a heartfelt tribute to the enduring bond between Quang Nam and Da Nang.
A Festival of Light, Culture, and Connection
Staged at the iconic Danang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) arena along the majestic Han River, the event buzzed with energy and emotion. With nearly 5,000 guests, from central government officials to local heroes, artists, and everyday citizens—it wasn’t just a night of fun. It was a testament to Da Nang’s growing role as a modern, vibrant cultural hub connecting past, present, and future.
Harmonizing Heritage and Future Aspirations
The night opened with a moving lineup of artistic performances by beloved Vietnamese talents like NSƯT Quang Hào, Ánh Tuyết, Võ Hạ Trâm, Tố My, Hồng Minh, and the Trung Vuong troupe. Songs like “Miền Đất Yêu Thương”, “Sông Hàn Tình Yêu Của Tôi”, and the iconic “Đà Nẵng Cất Cánh Bay” stirred deep feelings of love for the homeland.
But what set the evening apart wasn’t just the music—it was the message. This wasn’t just about entertainment. It spotlighted a broader vision: a harmonious reunification of Quang Nam and Da Nang, designed to maximize the region’s potential both culturally and economically.
The Showstoppers: Fireworks that Told a Story
As the final notes of music faded, all eyes turned skyward. DIFF 2025 newcomer Z121 lit up the Han River sky, painting it with dazzling fireworks, each burst echoing stories of Vietnam’s past glory and future ambition. It was a breath-stealing moment—pure magic in the air.
The light from the show reflected in the river below and in the eyes of thousands who stood in awe. It was more than a performance: it was a promise.
A New Chapter Begins
That night, towering buildings around Da Nang were aglow with the message “Welcome New Da Nang”, like a collective heartbeat welcoming change and progress. As LED lights ran across skyscrapers and fireworks found their crescendo, it was clear—this city is ready for a bolder future while remaining rooted in its cultural legacy.
More than a Festivity — A National Vision
Speaking at the event, Deputy Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee, Phan Thai Binh, highlighted that the real significance of unifying Da Nang and Quang Nam isn’t just administrative. It’s about synergy—realizing the full potential of a region rich in history, strategically vital, and culturally vibrant. This transformative step forward, he said, would catalyze a wider, more sustainable growth trajectory.
With programs featuring themes like “Heritage Land” and “Da Nang Soars with the Nation”, artists like Bạch Công Khanh and Nguyễn Duyên Quỳnh captured the spirit of both cities. Their performances painted a vivid picture of Da Nang—not as a city changing for the sake of growth, but evolving out of love for its people and place.
Together Toward a Brighter Future
As the final firework faded, the crowd wasn’t left with silence. Instead, an unmistakable whisper filled the air: hope.
The event marked a pivotal moment where dream and reality intersected. A future where Da Nang stands as a cultural epicenter, a creative connector, and most importantly—a home enriched by heritage and driven by boundless aspiration.
Because when Da Nang rises, we all soar with it.
