The Da Nang New Year Festival features live concerts on My Khe Beach and a vibrant fireworks show at midnight. The Han River is illuminated with colorful holiday light displays, creating a festive atmosphere across the city. Local food stalls and pop-up bars line the riverfront, adding to the celebration.
What people do
Visitors gather at My Khe Beach to watch performances by Vietnamese artists and enjoy the countdown party. Crowds stroll along Bach Dang Street by the Han River to view the lights and join in street festivities. Many locals and tourists take photos at Dragon Bridge, which is often lit up for the occasion.
Practical tips
Arrive early to secure a good spot on the beach or riverfront, as areas get crowded before midnight. Public transport and taxis are recommended due to road closures near major event sites. Dress warmly and bring snacks, as lines at food stalls can be long during peak hours.
