Hai Phong: High- and low-altitude fireworks display to be combined in the “Hai Phong - Heritage Illumination” art programme

DNHN - Hai Phong will organise a high- and low-altitude fireworks display at the Central Political and Administrative Square in the Bac Song Cam urban area, where the Hai Phong - Heritage Illumination art programme will take place on 11 May.

According to information from the Hai Phong Department of Culture and Sports, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has issued a document agreeing to the Hai Phong People’s Committee’s proposal to organise a high- and low-altitude fireworks display as part of the “Hai Phong - Heritage Illumination” art programme on 11 May 2024, within the framework of the 2024 Hai Phong Red Flamboyant Festival and the 69th anniversary of the liberation of Hai Phong.

On this occasion, Hai Phong City will organise a fireworks display with 500 high-altitude fireworks and 150 low-altitude fireworks, lasting no more than 15 minutes, as part of the “Hai Phong - Heritage Illumination” art programme, which will take place on 11 May 2024 at the Central Political and Administrative Square in the Bac Song Cam new urban area, Thuy Nguyen district, Hai Phong City.

In previous years, the Red Flamboyant Festival art programme was held at the City Opera House Square. This area has many spatial limitations, so the city only organised low-altitude fireworks displays. This year, the city has decided to hold the evening festival programme at the Central Political and Administrative Square in the Bac Song Cam urban area, Thuy Nguyen district, which has easy access, a large space and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Therefore, the organisation of a combined high- and low-altitude fireworks display will help to spread the festival atmosphere to a larger number of city residents and visitors than in previous years.
