If you thought the opening night was dazzling, wait until the Han River skies glow again. On June 7, DIFF 2025 returns for its second competition night with a head-to-head showcase of creativity, storytelling, and precision from Vietnam’s Z121 Vina Pyrotech and Poland’s Surex Firma Rodzinna. Expect a feast of light and music that blends tradition, innovation, and pure spectacle.
The Theme: Where Ideas Meet the Sky
Night Two revolves around “Creative Art” — a promise that this won’t just be fireworks. It’s music, emotion, and bold ideas choreographed into a sky-high performance that speaks to all ages. This is DIFF at its best: immersive, cinematic, and deeply human.
The Showdown: A New Challenger vs. a Seasoned Star
Z121 Vina Pyrotech (Vietnam)
Z121 Vina Pyrotech — also known as Company 21 under the General Department of Defense Industry — has been crafting fireworks in Vietnam for over half a century. They’ve lit up countless national ceremonies and major events, but DIFF 2025 marks their first leap onto an international fireworks stage.
- Performance title: “Aspiration to Soar”
- What to expect: A confident, modern Vietnamese style, backed by technique and a narrative about a peaceful, creative, and forward-looking Vietnam.
- Their mission tonight: Showcase a signature Vietnamese identity while signaling a step onto the regional and global scene.
Surex Firma Rodzinna (Poland)
Surex is a heavyweight in European pyrotechnics with 30+ years in the field and a résumé spanning over 50 international competitions. They’ve collected accolades from festivals in China, South Korea, France, Germany, Czechia, Croatia, and more. At DIFF 2023, they were recognized as the “Most Creative Team.”
- Performance title: “Dragon Love”
- What to expect: A visual fable inspired by Eastern mythology with European finesse — the fiery Luna and the watery Draco, a love story that bridges elements, cultures, and eras.
- Their signature: Audacious firing technique and magnetic storytelling through light and music.
More Than Fireworks: A Riverfront Music Night
Before and between the pyrotechnic acts, the vibe will be electric along the Han River. The creative music show at the Ngu Hanh Son stage features:
- Singer–songwriter Tang Duy Tan
- Singer Muoi
- Violinist Trinh Minh Hien
- And other standout live performances
It’s a festival within a festival — one ticket, double the delight.
Tech That Wows: AR On Paper Tickets and Sky AR
DIFF 2025 pushes the envelope with interactive tech:
- Augmented reality (AR) right on your ticket for a playful, informative pre-show experience.
- Sky AR, an outdoor AR layer across a vast area (up to around 600,000 m² and millions of mapped points), turning the Da Nang night into a living canvas. Think of it as a creative digital universe hovering above the river.
Tip: Arrive early to explore and get your phone ready.
What Fans Are Saying
Visitors are coming back for more. Many who planned to just “check out the opening” are grabbing extra tickets after feeling the energy and seeing the scale — fireworks plus live music is hard to resist.
