The third annual int’l fireworks competition in Danang
The central city of Da Nang will hold the third
annual international fireworks competition next year to celebrate its 35th
liberation day and the 1000th anniversary of Hanoi, formerly known as Thang
Long.
Approved by the Prime Minister, the two day contest estimated to cost over
US$465,000, will explode over the Han River on March 27.
Joe Ghazzal, director of Malaysian-owned Global 2000 Company, the festival
consultant, said they have signed contracts with four famous competitors from
US, Japan, France and Portugal.
The theme for the contest will be “the Legend of the Han River”.
The Da Nang People’s Committee will build a temporary 30,000-seat pavilion for
people to watch the event, said Nguyen Van Can, chief of the committee’s office.
The income from selling tickets for the seats will be used to invest in the
festival that was initiated in 2008, he said, adding that next year, they will
not rent out places nearby to food and beverage services as done previously to
give people more space to watch the event.
Local authorities have also decided to establish a Fireworks Fund that will
invite foreign and local sponsorship as well as tap into other legal income
sources. The fund will be used to organize the international competition as well
as other celebratory fireworks display in the city.
