The artistic showcase is scheduled to take place before the fireworks display, starting from approximately 11 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and will be broadcast live.
“This is an exciting addition to Hanoi’s celebration, bringing a festive atmosphere to commemorate the city’s socio-economic achievements in 2023 and embrace the new year with renewed energy, showcasing the capital’s cultural industry,” said Dung.
The drone light show will feature stunning formations, patterns, and colors in the sky using LED lights.
Drone light shows have become a new trend in the 4.0 industry.
The show consists of 11 parts that depict stories about Hanoi through the combination of light and music. This interactive experience, along with the spectacular fireworks display at West Lake, will evoke strong emotions, making New Year’s Eve the central cultural event in the capital in 2024.
