Ho Chi Minh City has planned an exciting lineup of activities to celebrate New Year 2025, as announced by the HCMC People's Committee.

The city will host three fireworks displays: one high-altitude location and two low-altitude locations, along with lively countdown music events to welcome the new year tonight, December 31.

The fireworks shows will last for 15 minutes, starting at midnight on January 1, 2025. The high-altitude display will take place at the entrance of the Saigon River Tunnel (Thu Thiem Ward, Thu Duc City), featuring approximately 1,500 high-altitude fireworks, 30 low-altitude setups, and ten pyrotechnic effects.

The two low-altitude fireworks displays will be held at Dam Sen Cultural Park (Ward 3, District 11) and Van Phuc City (Hiep Binh Phuoc Ward, Thu Duc City), each featuring 90 low-altitude fireworks setups.

Before the fireworks, large-scale music festivals will be held. Highlights include a countdown event on Nguyen Hue Walking Street (District 1) and the City Tet Fest - Thu Duc 2025 New Year Festival, featuring music performances and a countdown celebration at the Saigon riverside park near Ba Son Bridge.

To ensure safety, the HCMC Police will work with the HCMC Command to maintain security at the fireworks sites and gathering areas. The Department of Transport will coordinate with other agencies to manage traffic on roads and waterways near the display locations, restricting vehicle access within a 1-kilometer radius.

In addition, the city center will feature artistic light displays and host various sports activities, such as marathons, international martial arts festivals, and amateur cycling races.
