HCMC to Celebrate Reunification Day with Fireworks Display

In celebration of Reunification Day, a fireworks show will be held at 9:00pm on the Saigon River tomorrow night, according to Tuoi Tre.

The 15 minute display, located near the Thu Thiem Tunnel, will be better than ever said the organizer and will include “a larger number of firework crackers, which come in more sparkling colors and create more stunning images.”

Other activities include an art illumination on Le Duan Street from April 25 to May 5, three photography exhibits at Lam Son, Chi Lang Parks and on Dong Khoi Street through April 29 and a special art and a music performance and exchange at Gia Dinh and 23/9 Parks on Wednesday and Thursday.
