Dragon Bridge to breathe fire and water nightly during National Day holiday
DNO - Da Nang’s iconic Dragon Bridge is set to put on its signature fire-and-water show for six consecutive nights, giving residents and visitors an extra reason to head to the city centre during Vietnam’s National Day holiday.
The show will run from August 28 through September 2, 2026, according to the Da Nang Department of Construction.
The city has approved the plan as part of its holiday activities, with the Dragon Bridge scheduled to light up the night sky with bursts of fire before sending jets of water into the air.
The extended run is expected to add a festive atmosphere to one of Da Nang’s best-known landmarks, particularly as the city welcomes visitors during the holiday period.
The bridge, spanning the Han River, has become a familiar highlight of evening sightseeing and a popular gathering point for both local residents and tourists.
The Da Nang authorities are also preparing measures to maintain traffic order and public safety around the bridge. Relevant forces will coordinate with the organisers to manage traffic and support the smooth movement of pedestrians and vehicles during the performances.
For visitors, the six-night schedule offers more flexibility to experience one of Da Nang’s most distinctive urban spectacles.
The combination of the Dragon Bridge’s dramatic design, the lights of the Han River and its bursts of fire and water creates a lively nighttime scene that captures the city’s modern, energetic character.
With the National Day holiday bringing more people into Da Nang, the extended performances are expected to turn the iconic Han River waterfront into an even more vibrant evening destination.
