Da Nang always carries a special vibrancy at the end of the year, when illuminated light displays brighten the Han River and music fills the areas around Dragon Bridge and Bach Dang pedestrian street. Countdown 2026 Da Nang promises a night full of energy with impressive fireworks, lively music, all-night entertainment, and unique experiences designed for both visitors and locals.
The New Year celebration series in Da Nang takes place over several days, spanning locations along the Han River and the city center.
The New Year check-in spaces operate from December 15, 2025 to January 3, 2026 on both the East and West sides of Dragon Bridge, attracting photography-loving visitors.
On the evening of December 30, the opening ceremony and art performances run from 19:00 to 22:00 at the East-side park of Dragon Bridge.
At the same time, the “Da Nang – Welcome New Year” avenue opens along Bach Dang pedestrian street until January 1.
On the night of December 31, the “Radiant Harmony” countdown program takes place from 23:00 to 00:30 in Tam Thanh and Hoi An.
The “Light Up the Han River – Run to the Future” race is held from 22:00 to 01:00, creating a highlight for New Year’s Eve.
This is the central hub of the countdown series, close to the main stage at the East-side park of Dragon Bridge. From here, you can view the fireworks directly and immerse yourself in the bustling crowds along both sides of the Han River. Ideal for those who enjoy a lively New Year’s Eve atmosphere.
Viewing fireworks from a river cruise offers a clear, unobstructed perspective. The separation from the crowds makes it a more private experience for families and couples.
This area is the main route of the “Da Nang Avenue – Welcome 2026” program. With wide walkways, easy movement, and many stopping points along the pedestrian street, it provides balanced views of the fireworks—suitable for families and groups of friends.
Rooftop venues along the river offer panoramic views of Dragon Bridge, Tran Hung Dao Street, and the West bank of the Han River. With open space and fewer crowds, they suit couples or friend groups wanting a calmer New Year’s Eve. This is also a popular choice for travelers seeking more privacy.
Guests can begin the evening by joining performance programs from 19:00 to 22:00 at the East-side park of Dragon Bridge, or at stages in Bach Dang, Bien Dong Park, and Ha Khe Beach, taking place from December 30 to January 1.
Afterward, take a walk along the Bach Dang – Dragon Bridge – Tran Hung Dao – Nguyen Van Troi route to join the “Light Up the Han River – Run to the Future” race, which starts at 22:00 and continues until 01:00.
Before the countdown moment, you may visit check-in locations operating from December 15 to January 3 on the East and West sides of Dragon Bridge, An Hoi statue garden, and 24/3 Square to capture memorable year-end photos.
You should arrive early to secure a good fireworks-viewing spot, especially around Dragon Bridge where crowds gather quickly.
Prepare a light jacket, drinking water, and a portable charger to maintain energy throughout the night.
For travelers, booking accommodation early near the beach or city center will make transportation on New Year’s Eve more convenient.
