Da Lat flower festival to bloom in December

Featuring 45 programs, the festival aims to elevate its profile to a national and international level, and continue helping to establish Da Lat, a locality in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, as a "city of flower festival" and a UNESCO Creative City in music.

Themed "Da Lat Flowers – Symphony of Colors", it will include 10 main events such as a New Year’s music show, an international seminar on green tourism and cultural industries, a "wine - tea - coffee street," and a flower parade with floats and fashion.

Flower displays will cover central locations like Xuan Huong Lake and extend to parks and neighborhoods, with strong participation from local businesses and residents.

Some foreign units and localities having cooperative ties with Lam Dong and Da Lat will also take part in several programs.

The opening ceremony will be aired live on Dec. 5, and the closing show on Dec. 31.

Lam Dong aims to draw 2 million visitors during the festival, said Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee and head of the organizing board Pham S.
