This cultural-political event celebrated the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).

In his opening speech, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper and Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists’ Association Le Quoc Minh emphasized that the program was not merely an art performance but a symphony of patriotism. It was a combination of music, stage performance, and multi-dimensional art, infused with historical depth, the inspiration of the era, and shared community emotions.

The V-shaped stage design symbolizes the love and pride of every Vietnamese for their homeland.

The event, which drew tens of thousands of spectators, honored the sacrifices of older generations and conveyed a message of national pride, great unity, and the Vietnamese people’s aspiration to rise in the new era.

The artistic space was designed on both a national and international scale and divided into four meaningful zones: “Independence,” “Freedom,” “Happiness,” and “Red Flag with Yellow Star.” Notably, the entire performance area was shaped like the letter “V,” standing 26 meters high, symbolizing the love and pride of every Vietnamese for their homeland.

The event draws the participation of tens of thousands of spectators.

The program’s three chapters— “Shape of the Homeland,” “Melodies of Pride,” and “The Fatherland in Our Hearts”—gave the audience a general view of the nation’s 80-year historical journey through music, images, and lighting. Famous songs helped bring to life historical milestones closely attached to the image of the red flag with a yellow star, the sacred symbol of patriotism and national aspiration.

One of the most moving moments of the program was when 50,000 spectators turned toward the national flag flying high at the center of the stadium and sang the national anthem in unison.

Another highlight was the appearance of 68 servicemen from the Army Officer Training School No.1, who had recently represented the Vietnam People’s Army at Russia’s Victory Day parade in Red Square, Moscow. Bearing the qualities of Uncle Ho’s soldiers, they reignited the patriotic spirit by recreating their parade formation and singing the national anthem with other artists on stage.

A highlight of the program is the presence of the 68 servicemen participating in Russia’s latest Victory Day parade at Red Square, Moscow.

The stage also welcomed many outstanding Vietnamese athletes who have brought glory to the nation in international arenas, including weightlifter Le Van Cong, swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien, football player Nguyen Quang Hai, karate artist Nguyen Ngoc Tram, and shooter Pham Quang Huy.

The program concluded with a fireworks display and the singing of “Nhu co Bac trong ngay dai thang” (As if Uncle Ho was with us on victory day) by artists and tens of thousands of spectators.
