DIFF 2025 Recap: When Fireworks Brought the World to Da Nang

This summer, the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF 2025) lit up Vietnam’s central coast with vibrant color, sound, and global connection. With thousands of visitors gathering every weekend to witness world-class pyrotechnic displays, DIFF proved once again why it’s not just a festival—it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and connection.

A Month of Lights, Music & Smiles

DIFF 2025 ran from early June to mid-July, lighting up the Han River every Saturday night. Teams from eight countries—Vietnam, Italy, France, the UK, China, UAE, Australia, and Poland battled it out with brilliant firework displays set to music and storytelling under the theme “The Symphony of Light”

But it wasn’t just about the fireworks.

Across the city, there were street parades, food fairs, riverside concerts, and pop-up cultural shows. For many, it felt like Vietnam had thrown the summer party of the year—and everyone was invited.

Travel Performance: A Booming Festival Season

DIFF 2025 translated into strong results for the travel industry:

• Over 1 million tourists visited Da Nang during the festival season
• Hotel occupancy reached over 90%, especially on fireworks weekends
• Travelers extended their stays, combining DIFF with beach holidays, excursions to Hoi An, and cultural discovery tours
