Đà Lạt to Light Up New Year with Fireworks at Two Iconic Locations
Two Prime Spots Chosen for City's Celebration
Ðà Lạt residents and visitors can look forward to a spectacular New Year's Eve celebration as the city prepares to launch fireworks at two of its most beloved locations. According to Tuổi Trẻ, the Lam Dong Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced that fireworks displays will illuminate the night sky at Yersin Park and the Xuan Huong Lake boat wharf at the stroke of midnight on February 17, 2026.
These two locations in Xuan Huong Ward represent the heart of our city's identity. Yersin Park, named after the famous French bacteriologist who made Đà Lạt his home, sits adjacent to the bustling night market where locals and tourists gather for evening strolls. The boat wharf at Xuan Huong Lake offers another perfect vantage point, where the reflection of fireworks on the lake's surface creates a magical doubling effect that photographers and romantics have long cherished.
Part of Province-Wide Festivities
Ðà Lạt's celebration is part of a broader provincial initiative spanning 19 locations across Lam Dong Province. "Many remote areas, ethnic minority regions, and border areas... will have firework displays to welcome the new year for the first time," according to the provincial tourism department, highlighting the inclusive nature of this year's celebrations.
While some districts will begin their displays earlier in the evening - with the earliest starting at 9 PM in Dak Mil and Duc An - Đà Lạt maintains the traditional midnight timing that locals have come to expect.
A Local Tradition Continues
For those familiar with Đà Lạt's New Year celebrations, the choice of locations comes as no surprise. The area around Xuan Huong Lake has long been the city's gathering place for major celebrations, from the annual flower festival to weekend evening markets. The proximity of both locations means visitors can easily move between viewing points or find the perfect spot along the lake's promenade to enjoy the show.
This announcement ensures that Đà Lạt continues its tradition of bringing the community together at the city's most iconic spots for the year's most important celebration.
