Da Nang stops the 2020 International Fireworks Festival

21/02/2020

On February 20, Mr. Ha Vy - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture and Sports of Da Nang City sent a document announcing that the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (scheduled to be held in June-July) this year will not take place.

Accordingly, after 11 consecutive years of successful organization, the 2020 festival was promoted by the city. However, after a period of consideration, the People's Committee of Da Nang City decided to temporarily suspend this year's festival to limit activities attracting large crowds to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. In addition, because the supply of main materials for the festival is related to epidemic areas, the city is also not proactive.
