Produced by VTV's Culture and Entertainment Department, Sparkling Summer will make a massive comeback in 2026, with an unprecedented, large-scale production. Over the years, this program has become a heartwarming staple and a cherished tradition for children across the country on International Children’s Day.
Inspired by the pure dreams of childhood, Sparkling Summer 2026 will take children on a magical adventure guided by the lovable character named Little Sun. One of the most notable highlights this year is the event venue. Instead of being held inside a television studio, the program will take place on a spectacular outdoor stage at VTV Square. With significant resources allocated to stage design, sound, and lighting, the venue is poised to transform into a vibrant “summer world” that offers children a colorful and emotional artistic experience.
The official poster for the program includes the recording time and location.
Sparkling Summer is not only a variety entertainment show, but also an interactive space where children’s imagination can truly soar. Young attendees will be immersed in a series of exciting activities.
The stage will feature characters that step straight out of fairy tales and movies. Children will have the chance to see giant robots, meet powerful Marvel superheroes and reunite with Little Red Riding Hood. They will also enjoy thrilling performances by mysterious magicians and giant spinning circus acts. The event will feature surprise appearances by famous football players to boost the spirit of sportsmanship.
Young guests will interact with beloved child stars and take home many meaningful gifts .
Sparkling Summer is expected to air at 20:00 on May 31, 2026, on VTV3. Please stay tuned to count down to a joyful and laughter-filled Sparkling Summer celebration for this year’s International Children’s Day.
