Carnival Ha Long is an annual cultural event that marks the beginning of the summer tourism season in Ha Long City, the home of the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ha Long Bay. Every year, the celebration draws visitors from far and wide to enjoy a vibrant and exciting atmosphere full of music, dancing, and entertainment.
This is the 15th year that the carnival has been held to welcome visitors and showcase the natural beauty, local culture, unique cuisine, and a variety of tourism offerings in Ha Long.
The programme includes an opening ceremony, art performances, street festivals, and a low-range fireworks display.
Organizers plan to invite renowned singers, dancers, beauty queens, professional actors, folk artisans, and almost 2,000 local artists to take part in the program, Nguyen Ngoc Son, the Deputy Head of the Ha Long City Administration and Deputy Head of the Organizing Board, stated.
The goal of the city is to promote the image of Ha Long Bay – a world natural heritage recognized by UNESCO 29 years ago – and to popularize the Carnival Ha Long brand in its 15th year, he added.
