This huge event is expected to turn Da Nang into a tourist, culture, entertainment and festivals destination that is favored by visitors at home and abroad.
This year's festival will be held in up to two months, with various activities beside the fireworks competition, such as a culinary competition and a street festival.
The adjustment came as an attempt by the city’s authorities to attract tourists to Da Nang and encourage them to stay longer in the city.
