Celebrate Vietnam’s most spectacular summer event in refined style with our luxury Vietnam tours.
As Vietnam continues to emerge as a leading destination for discerning travelers, Danang International Fireworks Festival 2025 (DIFF) stands out as a defining moment of the summer. This year, the festival expands in both scale and creativity—offering more performances, a grander stage, and elevated viewing experiences. Whether you are a seasoned world explorer or a first-time visitor seeking immersive culture, DIFF 2025 promises an unforgettable highlight in any luxury Vietnam itinerary.
A Festival Like No Other
Running from May 31 to July 12, the 2025 edition of DIFF is set to be the longest and most internationally diverse season in the event’s 15-year history. Featuring six themed nights, the festival brings together ten teams from across the globe: Vietnam, Finland, the UK, Portugal, Poland, South Korea, Italy, Canada, and China.
Each Saturday night, two teams will perform a pyrotechnic display reflecting themes such as cultural excellence, innovation, sustainable development, and the dawn of a new era. The final night on July 12 will feature the championship round and is expected to be the most spectacular of all.
Elevated Stage, Elevated Experience
This year’s main stage, located along Tran Hung Dao Street on the banks of the Han River, has been expanded to over 1,600 square meters, a 60% increase over the previous year. Designed with an open concept, the structure integrates advanced performance technology – including a dynamic LED floor and five kinetic domes – to ensure optimal viewing from every angle.
Surround sound systems enrich both the musical performances and the fireworks themselves, creating a fully immersive experience.
Premium Seating and River Cruises
Guests may choose from over 10,000 seats available nightly, spanning five categories: from standard A3 seating to the exclusive A VIP tier, with prices ranging from approximately $40 to $180 per person. For the final evening, a sixth section (A4) is added and premium rates apply.
For those who prefer a more intimate setting, Han River cruises offer an exceptional perspective. Several boats have been authorised to operate between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM, often including a seated dinner service. Rates vary according to comfort level:
- Standard cruises: $40–$60 per adult
- Premium cruises: $90–$150 per adult
- Final night cruises: Slightly higher, reflecting increased demand
All tickets can be purchased through official festival channels or at designated box offices. Guests are advised to avoid third-party sellers to prevent fraud.
Planning Your Visit
As summer is peak travel season in Danang, advance planning is essential. We recommend:
- Booking accommodation early, particularly if you prefer a river-facing suite or villa
- Confirming city traffic notices on fireworks nights, as road closures may affect transfers
- Consulting with your hotel or private concierge for local insights and secure ticket reservations
For families, we advise that children under the age of three enjoy the fireworks from a comfortable distance, due to potential sensitivity to light and sound.
