Fireworks by Sun Group during a program held in January 2026 |
The 15-minute show will run from 9 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. Its script and firing-site plans were designed and implemented by Sun Group in coordination with the Ministry of National Defense, the Ha Noi Capital Command, and Factory Z121.
The two firing sites will use 3,525 high-altitude fireworks, including 1,725 at Hoan Kiem Lake and 1,800 at West Lake, creating giant bursts of light across the sky. The show will also feature 975 low-altitude fireworks and 50 artistic fireworks platforms.
A key highlight will be 1,250 pyrotechnic platforms, including 350 at Hoan Kiem Lake and 900 at West Lake. Combined with high- and low-altitude fireworks, the displays will reflect across the water, creating a multilayered and multidimensional spectacle.
Hoan Kiem Lake will be the centerpiece, with a display combining high- and low-altitude fireworks and water pyrotechnics to highlight the lake's cultural and historical significance. At the West Lake, the show will take advantage of the expansive water surface and open surroundings.
More than 150 effects specially designed for October 10 will combine multiple layers of light, from high-altitude fireworks soaring into the sky to low-altitude bursts and pyrotechnic effects on the water. Reflections on the lake will create a spectacular “symphony of light.”
