Fireworks to light up Ho Chi Minh City skies on New Year’s Eve
VOV.VN - Both locals and tourists in Ho Chi Minh City will be entertained with dazzling firework displays at two sites across the southern city to welcome in the New Year and the start of 2023.
15-minute firework performances will start as soon as the clock hits midnight on January 1, 2023, to mark the beginning of the New Year.
High-range fireworks will light up the skies over the entrance of the Saigon River Tunnel in Thu Duc City for people to enjoy.
Elsewhere, low-range fireworks will be on display at Dam Sen Theme Park in District 11.
Ho Chi Minh City also plans to hold countdown events at Nguyen Hue pedestrian street and Le Duan Boulevard, running from 5:30 p.m. on December 31 to 0:30 a.m. on January 1, 2023.
The occasion will feature a series of laser shows, LED and other attractive lighting, art performances, games, and a goods fair. Indeed, the highlight will be a countdown party held at midnight in order to ring in the New Year.
The countdown event first organised six years ago typically attracts thousands of visitors annually. It took place virtually in 2020 and was subsequently cancelled in 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Year celebrations will take place throughout the southern metropolis, including art performances, a marathon race, a martial arts tournament, and a cycling race.
