The Da Nang International Fireworks Competition has been held successfully for 4 years, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and has attracted the attention of thousands of tourists and millions of television viewers. This event has become one the special cultural events, not only for Da Nang City, but also for Vietnam. The DIFC is eagerly looked forward to by millions of residents and visitors annually.
In 2012, Da Nang is continuing to organize the 5th competition, (renamed The Da Nang International Fireworks Display), with the theme "Colors of Da Nang" on April 29th and 30th 2012 with the participation of international teams who were champions in previous years. These teams are: Canada (2008), China (2009), France (2010), Italy (2011) and team Da Nang - Vietnam. The scenic Han River will be the location of this spectacular and colorful fireworks display.
In addition to the fireworks, many other supporting activities will also take place such as: food exchange festivals, decorative lighting art, a decorated boat march, sea sports activities and music and fashion shows. These activities will certainly attract the attention of numerous people throughout the country as well as international tourists.
The organizational tasks such as professional preparation, mobilization of financing, investing in building facilities, equipment and technology including building an impressive fireworks team with their own style, has been facilitated by The Da Nang People’s Committee.
The Da Nang City People's Committee has agreed to build alternative DIFC stands for 2012, which includes two areas: stands A, B at the main stage with a capacity of more than 9,000 seats and Zone C at the north of the stand A, B with a capacity of 16,000 seats.

However, safety and security as well as quality of service and ticket prices that do not exceed 300,000 VND / ticket / person / night must be guaranteed.
