Da Nang to debut night-time beach gala featuring music, cuisine

The event runs from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm, designed as a seaside picnic where guests sit on the sand, enjoy Quang-style dishes, listen to live music, and take part in interactive activities.

Organizers said the program is intended to create a distinctive tourism product for the coastal city’s summer season.

The beach gala is part of the city’s Enjoy Da Nang Festival in July, which emphasizes immersive experiences rather than traditional performances.

The festival’s opening ceremony scheduled on July 23 at East Sea Park will feature a live stage recreating Quang culture, from fishing villages and rural markets to traditional crafts and the modern seaside city.

Organizers will also set up a countryside-style food market featuring local specialties, traditional handicrafts, and international cuisine.

Other highlights include a night-time kite festival with around 500 kites combined with installation art, an EDM beach party targeting younger visitors, and wellness activities such as meditation and sound therapy at Linh Ung Pagoda, along with sunrise yoga sessions on the beach.

Da Nang is also promoting themed tourism experiences, including tours of Son Tra Peninsula, Ngoc Linh Mountain, city food tours, combined itineraries linking My Son Sanctuary and Hoi An, and early morning visits to Man Thai fish market alongside local fishermen.

The city also plans major sports events, including the VnExpress Da Nang International Marathon Herbalife Cup, national beach volleyball and handball tournaments, and SUP paddling at Son Tra.
