Landmarks of Hai Phong red flamboyant flower festival seasons

Every summer, as red flamboyant flowers bloom, Hai Phong port city residents eagerly await the festival season. This year, the 2026 red flamboyant flower Festival carries special meaning, organized for the first time in the post-merger new city space while marking the 71st anniversary of Hai Phong's liberation Day (May 13, 1955 - May 13, 2026).

Creative imprint from culture.

Among Hai Phong's treasure of nearly 1,300 distinctive traditional festivals, the red flamboyant flower Festival stands out as a contemporary creation deeply rooted in cultural depth. Launched in 2012, it quickly became an annual highlight, shaping the city's cultural-tourism brand.

From a cultural initiative, the red flamboyant flower Festival evolved into a brand and vibrant symbol of modern, dynamic and creative Hai Phong.

Festival season of new faith and aspirations.

In 2026, the festival takes on new stature, held for the first time in the merged Hai Phong-Hai Duong city space. This marks not just administrative boundary changes but a historic turning point, unlocking vast development space that blends Xu Dong cultural depth with Hai Phong's economic-industrial-port strengths.

After the merger, Hai Phong successfully held the City Party Congress for 2025-2030, elected 16th National Assembly and multi-level People's Council deputies for 2026-2031, and swiftly restructured its government apparatus, laying foundations for high, sustainable growth strategies. In this context, the 2026 festival not only brings cultural meaning, but it also becomes a key political-social event, embodying the city’s unity and aspirations.

Residents participate in the May Festival atmosphere.

After 12 seasons, the red flamboyant flower Festival has become the port city's spiritual symbol. In vibrant May 2026, as the red flamboyant flowers blooms, the festival reignites faith and aspirations, for Hai Phong to continue shining brightly on the new development journey.
