DNO - More than a fireworks festival, the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2026 has evolved into a comprehensive festival ecosystem where technology, arts, culture and tourism converge, further strengthening Da Nang’s position as Asia’s leading festival and event destination.
According to the Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, DIFF 2026 attracted more than 2.72 million overnight visitors during the 43 days of the event.
Specifically, the grand finale of DIFF 2026 on July 11 recorded 131,000 overnight visitors, up 16% year-on-year.
Of the total, international visitors accounted for 52,400, up 27%, whilst domestic visitors stood at 78,600, a rise of nearly 10%.
The occupancy rate of all accommodation facilities citywide during the period reached around 85%, an increase of 6.3%.
Notably, hotels in the central districts, including Hai Chau, Hoa Cuong, An Hai, Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son, reported occupancy rates of 95 - 98%, the highest level recorded over the past four consecutive DIFF seasons since 2023.
In terms of transportation, Da Nang handled 365 domestic and international flights on July 10 and 11, an increase of 30 flights compared to the same period in 2025.
Throughout the festival period from May 30 to July 11, the city welcomed more than 2.72 million overnight visitors, representing a rise of nearly 45% compared to the 2025 edition.
During the six official fireworks competition nights alone, the city received 688,500 overnight visitors.
Across all six competition rounds, including the official performance days and their preceding days (May 29 - 30, June 5 - 6, June 12 - 13, June 19 - 20, June 26 - 27, and July 10 - 11), Da Nang welcomed more than 1,900 flights, up 7% (nearly 130 additional flights) year-on-year. The average daily flight frequency reached 163 flights, an increase of 11 flights per day.
After more than 17 years of accompanying DIFF, Ms. Nadia Shakira Wong said that the organization of the festival has become increasingly professional and the event has become an iconic symbol of Da Nang.
“Whenever people mention Da Nang, they immediately think of DIFF” she noted.
According to Ms. Nadia Shakira Wong, Vietnam is currently the only country to host a fireworks festival integrated into a comprehensive 360-degree ecosystem, combining fireworks displays with music, culture and supporting tourism services.
Mrs. Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Vice Chairwoman of the Da Nang People's Committee and Head of the Organizing Committee for DIFF 2026, said that Da Nang hoped to leverage DIFF to develop a professional event ecosystem that links culture, tourism, entertainment, and the night-time economy.
Although DIFF 2026 concluded, the journey of developing Da Nang's identity as a festival city continues. A series of new events and tourism products are emerging, affirming the vitality of a dynamic and constantly innovating destination.
