Unprecedented Mid-Autumn Festival season in Quang Ninh: Giant lantern parade combined with artistic fireworks display

02/10/2025

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Quang Ninh is going big with the largest lantern parade ever, combined with artistic fireworks at the beach along the Sun Carnival square, offering an unprecedentedly brilliant full moon night experience for residents and visitors.

At 9:15 PM on October 4th, along Hoang Quoc Viet street to the Sun Carnival square axis, Fireworks Bay, Sun Elite City, Bai Chay ward will become a giant stage of light and color. For the first time, Sun Group is organizing a Mid-Autumn Festival lantern procession in Quang Ninh on a large scale, gathering giant lantern floats combined with a brilliant artistic fireworks display by the bay.

Elaborately decorated buggy cars with familiar Mid-Autumn Festival imagery

On Hoang Quoc Viet street to Ky Quan street leading to Sun Carnival square, a parade of giant lanterns will march, recreating familiar Mid-Autumn Festival figures such as carp, lions, dragons, phoenixes, kéo quân lanterns, and lotus flowers in a modern, brightly lit version. Elaborately decorated electric buggy cars with lighting and sound systems will form a shimmering, grand procession. The sound of festive drums, the cheers of thousands of people and tourists, along with the brilliant light from the models, promise to create an unprecedentedly vibrant scene in Quang Ninh during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is not just a parade performance, but a fusion of visual art, folk culture, and carnival spirit, taking the audience through many emotional levels.

Fireworks Bay, Sun Elite City promises to be spectacular with high-altitude fireworks displays

Furthermore, the highlight of the festival is also the artistic fireworks display. After the parade concludes, the sky over Bai Chay promises to explode with high-altitude fireworks in vibrant colors, with thousands of effects, creating a magical, shimmering scene never before seen on the full moon night. For the first time, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Quang Ninh is not just a night of feasting and lantern processions, but becomes a grand festival of light, where all senses are awakened.

Vui-fest Night Market

This special event not only marks the 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival season but also helps affirm Bai Chay as the cultural and tourist focal point of Quang Ninh. From early on, the coastal streets are predicted to be filled with a festive atmosphere, with crowds eagerly heading to Sun Carnival square, Vui-Fest night market, and the coastal area to await the moment of lantern processions and fireworks. Decorative lights, full-moon-themed check-in scenes, and an exciting atmosphere will turn the coastal town of Bai Chay into the focal point of this year's festival season.
