With the permission of the Prime Minister, Danang has been honored as the host city to run the International Fireworks Competition every year.

 

This is an international cultural and tourism event which has been successfully organized by Da Nang. The events attract the wider participation of residents and visitors’ attention, contribute to brand Da Nang City - a dynamic and innovative city in the new period and give a good opportunity to stimulate stronger city development in tourism, services and domestic investment attraction.

In 3 recent years, the images of beautiful fireworks art, colorful bursts to melodious music by the Sparkling Han River at night are deeply imprinted on Danang people and tourists’ hearts whenever they remember to this peaceful and beautiful city by the river and sea. High level performances from five continents have given spectators true and innovative feelings, allowing all to enjoy, an international reunion and they are gradually becoming a Danang brand and a unique tourism product of Da Nang

Following the success from the past 3 years, on 29th and 30th April 2011, Danang city continues to hold the International Fireworks Competition with the participation of England (Jubilee Fireworks Company), Korea (Hanwha Corporation), Italy (Parente Fireworks Company A & C SNC), China (Panda Fireworks Company) and the host Vietnam (Da Nang). The international teams have been selected based on quality, capacities and ranks in international fireworks competitions around the world. This choice promises to give Danang International Fireworks Competition 2011 gorgeous and attractive performances with their own colors.

 

Da Nang continues building the viewing area with two stages: Stage A is the main stage with a capacity of over 9,000 seats and stage B is a broad section of the Olalani projects with a capacity of around 16,000 seats. Fare sales are 200,000 VND a ticket for one person per night. To be convenient for city residents and visitors, ticket sales are held in Ho Chi Minh (1 venue), Hanoi (1 venue) and 5 venues in Danang City such as the Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism, Nguyen Hien Dinh Classical Drama Theatre, Trung Vuong Theatre, Tourism Promotion Center and Viet Art Join-stock Company. Besides, Da Nang allows boating travel agencies to sell tickets, however, safety and quality of services must be committed; fare sales must not exceed 200,000 VND a ticket for one person for one night. The city residents and visitors cannot buy tickets to stages or on boats, they can enjoy the fireworks displays along Bach Dang Str., Tran Hung Dao Str., Han Bridge and Thuan Phuoc Bridge...

In the framework of the competition, the city also will host many extracurricular activities such as fireworks competitions on computers, art performances before the competition by Trung Vuong Theatre, and performances on the main stage by Lam Son Company (Hanoi). Many other activities are taking place such as sophisticatedly-decorated boat parades, flower garlands and coloured lanterns on the Han River, the Non Nuoc stone exhibitions, beautiful photo exhibitions about international fireworks, beach sports performances and organizations, music and fashion, art light decoration at My Khe beach area...

In recent years, every show brings different impressions in every competition. The teams have researched much of the culture and history of Vietnam and Da Nang in order to build impressive performances. For example, the Portuguese team‘s performance with the theme "Dragon and Fire - the Legendary Place of Birth" took the viewer back to the time when legends about dragons and fairies first appeared. The emotional love story of the fairy Au Co when she traveled down and was trapped in the earth, and her tears flew into the Han River, was described by the brilliant and colorful display of the French team. Similarly, the famous Luong Son Ba - Chuc Anh Dai's love story which was displayed by the Chinese team brought quiet emotion up in the audiences’ souls. The characteristic sounds of the didgeridoo and Australian aboriginals have brought audiences to the endless steppes of the country of kangaroos. The dazzling fireworks display to lively music of the U.S. team demonstrated a country of flowers and flags...

In the last 3 years, we saw the attraction of the competition as well as the residents’ welcoming atmosphere. International guests throughout all the hotels in the city are already fully booked. All tickets for fireworks displays have been sold since the beginning of the year. Vietnam airline has greatly increased flights but they all sold out. On the nights of performances, hundreds of thousands of tourists filled all the stages, all the buildings and roads nearby. Danang International Fireworks Competition has succeeded brilliantly in bringing to Da Nang and Viet Nam a unique cultural event of international stature.

To finish the article, we would like to reiterate the words of Mr Tran Van Minh - Chairman of the Danang People’s Committee about Danang International Fireworks Competition 2010: "With all special privileges of the nature and tireless support of human being, flowers have bloomed on the gentle and beautiful central city so this place keeps attracting visitors from near and far, becoming a loving and familiar event for those who love and come to Da Nang."
