Ho Chi Minh City will set off fireworks at two locations following a countdown event to welcome the 2023 New Year.
A high-altitude firework display will be held at the Thu Thiem Tunnel in Thu Duc City and low-altitude fireworks will be set off in the Dam Sen Cultural Park in District 11 following a countdown event on Nguyen Hue Street on December 31.
The firework displays, which will last for 15 minutes, are expected to attract lots of visitors after they were suspended in 2021 New Year celebrations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
For the Lunar New Year holiday, HCM City has planned a variety of cultural and arts activities including a photo exhibition on the beauty of HCM City’s daily life as well as photos of war memories; a Tet Cake Festival to be held at the History Ethnic and Cultural Park; and the annual HCM City Spring Flower Fair to be held from January 16-27 at Tao Dan Park.
In addition, the Nguyen Hue Flower Street, the city’s most visited attraction in Tet, will open from January 19-26. This year’s 600-metre flower street extends from the President Ho Chi Minh Statue in front of the city people’s committee building down Nguyen Hue Street to Ton Duc Thang Street.
