The program will be staged from July 24 - 26 at the central circus theatre, 67–69 Tran Nhan Tong street, Hanoi. In addition to the performances, the Vietnam Circus Federation will coordinate with partner organizations to present gifts to wounded and  sick veterans, families of fallen soldiers, revolutionary contributors and victims of Agent Orange/dioxin. Veterans will also be invited to appear on stage alongside artists and younger performers.

Joining the nationwide commemorations, the Vietnam Contemporary Arts Theater will host a special concert paying tribute to fallen heroes while promoting the tradition of remembering those who sacrificed for the nation and inspiring patriotism and national pride among the Vietnamese people.

The concert is scheduled to take place on the evening of July 26 at the Vietnam Cultural Space, 79 Hang Trong street, Hanoi.

Divided into two parts, the program will feature a selection of timeless revolutionary songs, taking audiences back to an era marked by idealism, unwavering faith and patriotism, while portraying the immense sacrifices made by those who gave their lives for the country. The concert will feature a number of renowned Vietnamese artists.

Among the performers, People's Artist Quang Tho said he would perform the songs La Do (Red leaves) and Dat Nuoc (The nation). He noted that every performance of these works reminds him of the generation that fought and sacrificed with steadfast faith in the country's reunification, expressing his belief that the values secured through their sacrifices will continue to be cherished and upheld.

In addition to central arts organizations, many localities are also organizing commemorative performances. Hanoi will stage six artistic programs in various wards and communes across the capital to honor fallen heroes, wounded and sick veterans and people who rendered meritorious service to the revolution.

In the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh, a special artistic program will take place on the evening of July 24 at the 30/10 square in Ha Long ward.

A highlight of the event will be the promotion of the Government's 500-day campaign to intensify the search, recovery and identification of the remains of fallen soldiers. The program will portray the search for missing comrades as a continuation of responsibility and gratitude in peacetime, helping to ease the pain of war and fulfil the long-held wishes of martyrs' families.
