Ho Chi Minh City has scaled back its planned fireworks displays in observance of the Reunification Day (April 30) celebrations from 16 designated locations as initially announced to just five.

The updated fireworks display plan includes one high-altitude performance at the entrance of the Saigon River Tunnel in Thu Thiem Ward, Thu Duc City.

Four low-altitude shows will be held in the Thao Dien villa area in Thao Dien Ward, Thu Duc City, featuring a shooting point on a barge; the Van Phuc urban area in Hiep Binh Phuoc Ward, Thu Duc City; Tay Bac Industrial Park in Tan An Hoi Commune, Cu Chi District; and Dam Sen Cultural Park in Ward 3, District 11.

The fireworks will last 15 minutes from 9:00 pm to 9:15 pm on April 30.

On April 16, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee announced fireworks displays at 16 venues for the Reunification Day celebrations, comprising one high-altitude display and 15 low-altitude shows.

Public workers are enjoying five consecutive days off from Saturday to next Wednesday to commemorate Reunification Day and International Workers’ Day (May 1) in Vietnam.
