The Danang Internatinal Fireworks Festival (DIFF) stands as one of Vietnam’s largest-scale cultural and tourism events. Every summer, it draws tens of thousands of local and international visitors to witness spectacular pyrotechnic displays over the Han River. In 2025, DIFF returns with an even grander scale under the theme “Danang – A New Era.” The festival will feature 10 competing teams across 6 exhilarating nights. In this article, Laguna Lang Co offers curated recommendations on the best places to enjoy the fireworks – each with a unique ambiance and breathtaking view of the Da Nang fireworks festival.
Main Stage: The central viewing point for the Da Nang Fireworks Festival
The main stage for DIFF 2025 is located on Tran Hung Dao Street. Situated right in the heart of Da Nang city, it directly faces the firework launch area at the Han River port. With over 10,000 seats available each night, the grandstand area offers a direct and unobstructed view of the fireworks.
