The Central Highland province of Lam Dong is preparing to host the ninth Da Lat Flower Festival which is expected to be the largest ever lasting for two months.
The biennial national and international cultural-tourism event, to be organised by the provincial administration, aims to honour horticulture in Da Lat, promote tourism and trade, and call for greater investment in the locality.
The 2022 festival is scheduled to start on November 1 and will last through to December 31, with numerous activities to take place across Da Lat – a resort city dubbed Little Paris in Vietnam.
Highlights of the occasion include art flower spaces, music programmes, fashion shows, and a hot air balloon festival.
Most notably, the grand final of the Miss Earth Vietnam 2022 pageant is set to take place in Da Lat on December 30.
Art flower spaces will open until January 31, 2023, or the 10th day of the first month of the lunar calendar to serve locals and tourists keen to celebrate the Lunar New Year, known locally as Tet.
There will also be a fireworks show on the eve of the New Year 2023.
