Ho Chi Minh City will light up the sky with fireworks displays at four locations on January 1, 2026 to ring in the New Year 2026.

Accordingly, there will be high-altitude fireworks displays at three sites - the Saigon River Tunnel entrance in An Khanh ward, the New City’s centre in Binh Duong ward, and Tam Thang Square in Vung Tau ward, along with a low-altitude show at Dam Sen Cultural Park in Binh Thoi ward. Funding for these displays comes from social contributions.

In addition, a series of cultural and art performances will be organised in celebration of the New Year, including a countdown on December 31 evening on Nguyen Hue walking street, the extended Le Loi Street area, Lam Son Park, and Saigon Opera House.

Also to welcome the New Year, a culinary culture festival will be held from December 27, 2025, to January 1, 2026, in Vung Tau ward.

Meanwhile, artistic lighting decorations will be arranged along central streets of the southern metropolis.
