Hanoi is set to light up the sky with a groundbreaking drone light show featuring over 3,000 drones, combined with high-altitude fireworks, as part of the "Brilliant Thang Long 2025" arts program on Lunar New Year’s Eve.

The event, organized by the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications in collaboration with the Nam Tu Liem District People's Committee, will take place at the My Dinh National Stadium Square on January 28, 2025.

A Guinness World Record attempt

According to Mai Trong Thai, Chairman of the Nam Tu Liem District People’s Committee, the show will incorporate 2,025 drones, symbolizing the new year, and an additional 95 drones to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

This large-scale drone performance, featuring dazzling light effects such as waterfalls, sparkles, and animations, is expected to set a Guinness World Record for the largest drone light show.

The program will also include a high-altitude fireworks display at midnight, creating a stunning moment to ring in the new year.
