Fireworks to be fired for celebrating Liberation Day
The capital Hanoi will let off fireworks at 9pm on October 10 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its Liberation Day.
The fireworks display is planned for 30 venues across the city, including five high-range shows at Hoan Kiem Lake, Thong Nhat Park, West Lake, Van Quan Lake and My Dinh National Stadium. Local businesses have donated VND4.5 billion for the performance.
In the meantime, celebratory activities are taking place across the capital, including the Hanoi Traditional Craft Village Tourism Festival, which started on October 9 and will run through to October 12.
The festival is part of the authorities’ effort to preserve and develop traditional craft villages in Hanoi as well as promote their image for tourism purposes.
A number of documentaries and films about Hanoi are being screened, while some 60 art performances are to take place on the Liberation Day (October 10).
The sound leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, the command of General Vo Nguyen Giap and the sacrifice of the people during the nine-year resistance war led to the celebrated Dien Bien Phu Victory. On October 10, 1954, Hanoians welcomed the victorious troops who returned to liberate the capital city.
