The 2026 edition of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) will take place from May 30 to July 11, continuing to affirm its position as one of the most distinctive cultural and tourism events in the central coastal city.

DIFF 2026 is expected to once again become a highlight of Da Nang’s summer tourism season, attracting hundreds of thousands of domestic and international visitors.

This year’s event will feature leading fireworks teams from around the world, delivering themed performances across more than a month of artistic light shows.

According to the organising board, the opening night on May 30 will carry the theme “Nature”, featuring a competition between Vietnam Team 1 and China. The second night, scheduled for June 6 under the theme “Heritage”, will see Vietnam Team 2 compete with France.

The third competition night on June 13 will focus on “Culture”, with teams from Japan and Italy presenting their displays. This will be followed by the June 20 contest themed “Creative”, featuring fireworks teams from Germany and Macao (China).

On June 27, the theme “Vision” will bring together teams from Australia and Portugal. The two highest-scoring teams will advance to the grand finale on July 11, themed “United Horizons”.

The grandstand area for DIFF 2026 will be arranged along Tran Hung Dao street, opposite the stage set on the Han River, with seating zones, including VVIP, A VIP, A1, A2, A3 and A4.

The VVIP and A VIP stands will be located closest to the central stage, while A1 and A2 will flank the central section, and A3 and A4 will be positioned in the outer areas.

Ticket prices for the opening and final nights – the two most anticipated events – will be higher than those for the qualifying rounds. For these nights, VVIP tickets are priced at 4 million VND (over 150 USD), while A VIP tickets cost 2.8 million VND. Tickets for A1 and A2 stands are priced at 2 million VND, and A3 and A4 seats cost 1.5 million VND.

For the qualifying nights, ticket prices range from 1 million VND to 3.5 million VND depending on seating categories.

Visitors can also purchase combo packages that combine fireworks tickets with experiences at Sun World Ba Na Hills, including cable car access and a buffet lunch.
