About this event
What happens
The Nha Trang Sea Festival is held every two years along the beachfront and main streets of Nha Trang city. Visitors can watch lively boat races in Nha Trang Bay, enjoy colorful street parades, and explore food stalls offering local seafood specialties. The festival typically spans several days, with events taking place from morning until late evening.
What people do
Festival-goers gather at Tran Phu Street and the central beach area to cheer on boat racing teams and join in dance performances. Locals and tourists sample regional dishes at pop-up food stalls and browse handicraft markets set up along the promenade. Many also take part in community activities like sand sculpture contests and traditional games.
Practical tips
Arrive early to secure a good spot for the parades and boat races, especially near the April 2 Square area. Accommodation in Nha Trang can fill up quickly during the festival, so book your hotel in advance. Wear comfortable shoes for walking and bring sun protection, as most activities are outdoors and the weather can be hot.
