The capital city of Hanoi is bustling with preparations for a series of important events, towards the 80th anniversary of the historic August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and National Day September 2 (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025). Opening this jubilant festive atmosphere is a magnificent fireworks display, promising to light up the night sky of August 10, creating a feast of light and sound for residents and visitors.
According to official information from the authorities, this special fireworks display will take place at 10 pm on August 10 and last for 8 minutes. The chosen location is the F1 Racetrack area in Tu Liem ward, a large, ideal space to ensure the best visibility for the audience and safety for the organization.
According to the organizers, the highlight of the “National Concert” is the 8-minute fireworks display, starting at 10 p.m. at the F1 racetrack, next to My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi. Although it is a concert with the nature of a political art program, “Fatherland in the Heart” is still expected to create a close and accessible space, especially for the younger generation of audiences who are increasingly interested in meaningful music nights, ensuring both scale, methodical staging and rich emotions.
