Last night, at the April 2 Square in Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province solemnly held the opening ceremony of the Khanh Hoa Sea Festival 2026 under the impressive theme "Colors of the Ocean, Reaching International Heights." This large-scale event was honored by the attendance of high-ranking leaders of the Party and State, leaders of various provinces and cities, alongside thousands of local residents and numerous tourists from all over. The festival is not only a colorful space for grand artistic performances that honor the endless beauty of the nation's seas and islands, but also affirms the unique and dynamic cultural values of the land of agarwood and swiftlet nests in an era of deep international integration.
One of the special highlights right on the opening night was the official launch and operation of Khanh Hoa Province's digital tourism platform. The implementation of this smart tourism ecosystem during the festival's biggest night clearly reflects the local government's strong determination toward digital transformation. The digital platform provides tourists with many modern utilities, such as fast information lookup, easy exploration of attractive destinations, and the seamless experience of local sea and island tourism products in the most convenient way possible.
The stage of the opening night truly exploded with a magnificent artistic program meticulously staged with three major chapters and twelve grand scenes, deeply recreating the rich historical and cultural depth, the green symphony of the ocean, and the grand aspiration to grow and reach new heights. By utilizing leading advanced performance technologies such as 3D mapping projection, modern LED and laser systems, combined with the appearance of ten artistic flower floats and hundreds of famous singers and artists, the night delivered a dazzling and lively festive space. The opening night concluded with a high-altitude artistic fireworks display lasting fifteen minutes, brilliantly illuminating the night sky over the coastal city of Nha Trang, officially kicking off the upcoming series of unique cultural, sports, and tourism activities with high spirits.
