Ha Long Carnival 2025 set to dazzle with bold new highlights
If you're planning a trip to Vietnam in 2025, mark your calendar for one of the country’s most dazzling cultural events: Ha Long Carnival 2025. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Ha Long Bay, this year’s celebration promises an unforgettable fusion of heritage, art, music, and modern spectacle.
Join the parade
Returning in full force, the legendary Carnival Parade will once again take over the streets of Ha Long with vibrant energy. But this isn’t just a show you watch—it’s an experience you become a part of.
Visitors are invited to join in the festivities, marching alongside five creative themed floats. You'll find yourself immersed in Quang Ninh’s largest open-air stage, surrounded by colorful costumes, upbeat DJ sets, and emotional performances that turn the city into a spectacular street party. Even local students are joining the fun, making it a lively, community-driven celebration that’s as authentic as it is entertaining.
A festival of lights, sound, and cutting-edge tech
What sets Ha Long Carnival 2025 apart is its ambitious use of modern technology to create a truly global-level festival atmosphere. Each performance and scene will be enhanced through high-tech projection mapping, laser light shows, and immersive visual effects—all delivered using 10 state-of-the-art projectors imported from the U.S. and Belgium.
The stage itself will be a work of art: a scenic 3D structure modeled after Ha Long’s iconic limestone mountains, transforming into a canvas for storytelling through digital light.
A bigger and better viewing experience
To accommodate the growing number of visitors, this year’s carnival will feature the largest grandstand ever, with 15,000 seats—including 7,000 at the Sun Carnival Square and an additional 8,000 built specially for guests, locals, and delegates.
And don’t worry if you can’t grab a seat - massive LED screens will be set up around the venue to ensure everyone can enjoy the show in full, real-time clarity.
