The 2024 Da Lat Flower Festival is slated to run for nearly one month in Da Lat City, a popular tourist site in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, boasting various music performances, the provincial Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism announced on Sunday.
The 10th flower fest, themed ‘Da Lat Flowers - Symphony of Colors,’ will take place from December 6 to 31.
The nearly-one-month festival is meant to attract a large number of tourists, entertain travelers, and make it convenient for travelers to arrange a suitable time for a trip to Da Lat City to enjoy the highly-anticipated biennial event.
As planned, a ceremony will be held on the evening of December 31 to close the festival and welcome the 2025 New Year.
The theme of the 2024 Da Lat Flower Festival is aimed at emphasizing the value of Da Lat’s flower production industry and honoring the city’s efforts after joining the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in music in October last year.
A Korean music show will be organized within the framework of the 2024 Da Lat Flower Festival.
