DIFF 2026 - A Fireworks Journey Opening New Horizons in Da Nang

Every summer, Da Nang’s sky transforms into a spectacular stage of light and color. In 2026, the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) officially returns with the theme “Da Nang - United Horizons”, promising a season that is impressive not only in scale but also in meaning.

Time and Venue of the Festival

According to the plan, DIFF 2026 is expected to take place from May 30 to July 11, 2026, spanning more than a month of vibrant summer celebrations. The fireworks performances will continue to be held at the Han River Port area, while the main grandstand and stage will be set up along Tran Hung Dao Street, opposite the launch site - a familiar location that has become synonymous with DIFF over the years.

From beachfront and riverside hotels such as Chicland Hotel Da Nang, visitors can easily reach the festival area and immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of each competition night.

Theme: Connecting to Move Forward

“United Horizons” is more than a slogan; it reflects the image of a renewed Da Nang following its administrative integration with Quang Nam Province. This theme highlights the harmony between nature and urban life, between heritage and creativity, and between traditional identity and modern rhythms. DIFF 2026 is therefore shaped as a continuous journey of development, portraying a city that preserves its roots while expanding its vision in an era of global connection.

Six Nights - Six Emotional Chapters

The six fireworks nights are designed as a storytelling journey that mirrors the city’s transformation. Each night represents a different chapter, inspired by Nature, Heritage, Culture, Creativity, Vision, and ultimately United Horizons. These performances go beyond technical competition, becoming artistic showcases that blend music, light, and cultural messages into immersive experiences for spectators.

International Teams - Colors from Around the World

DIFF 2026 brings together ten fireworks teams from various countries, including two representatives from Vietnam alongside teams from China, Italy, Germany, Portugal, France, Japan, Macau, and Australia. Notably, this season features four first-time participants, adding fresh perspectives and exciting surprises for fireworks enthusiasts. The diversity of participating nations creates a vibrant picture of cultural exchange across the Han River sky.

Experiencing DIFF 2026 with a Stay at Chicland

DIFF is not only a major entertainment event but also an ideal time to combine sightseeing with relaxation. Between the brilliant fireworks nights along the Han River, visitors can enjoy peaceful daytime moments at My Khe Beach, unwind at the infinity pool or spa, and explore the green spaces that define Chicland Hotel Da Nang.

A stay at Chicland during DIFF 2026 offers a perfect balance between the energy of the festival, the tranquility of a beachfront retreat, and refined culinary and service experiences by the sea.

Plan Early for the 2026 Fireworks Season

With its growing scale and international appeal, DIFF 2026 is expected to remain the highlight of Da Nang’s summer tourism season. Planning accommodation in advance will give travelers more room options and flexible schedules, allowing them to fully enjoy each dazzling night of fireworks.
