The fireworks program will be organized in accordance with government regulations on the management and use of fireworks and the city’s overall plan for Tet celebrations.

Accordingly, the capital will set up 11 high-altitude fireworks sites combined with low-altitude fireworks and pyrotechnic effects, along with 23 low-altitude fireworks sites. These sites will be evenly distributed across wards and communes to enable residents in many areas to enjoy the displays on New Year’s Eve.

High-altitude fireworks will be launched at major central locations and large open spaces such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Thong Nhat Park, Lac Long Quan Flower Garden, Son Tay Ancient Citadel, Hoa Binh Park, Van Quan Lake, and the F1 racetrack area. Low-altitude ones will meanwhile be organized at parks, lakes, stadiums and urban areas in various wards and communes.

The displays will last 15 minutes, from 00:00 to 00:15 on February 17, 2026, marking the Year of the Horse.

The military force will closely coordinate with the municipal police, relevant departments, sectors and local authorities to ensure security, fire prevention and control, search and rescue, medical services, traffic management and uninterrupted communications.
