The Tet atmosphere in the city center is growing increasingly lively and festive, filled with the vibrant colors of spring.
Nguyen Hue Flower Street 2026 will officially welcome residents and visitors from the evening of February 15 (the 28th day of the 12th lunar month) until 9 p.m. on February 22 (the sixth day of the first lunar month).
Under the theme “Spring Convergence – Confidently Moving Forward,” the event affirms the nation’s spirit and aspirations in a new era. Notably, the 2026 edition marks a completely new milestone, offering two distinct day-and-night experiences within the same space, something unprecedented in its 23-year history.
During the day, more than 100,000 flower baskets of various species and colors create a radiant spring setting, complemented by unique zodiac mascots, large-scale and miniature landscapes, meeting visitors’ needs for sightseeing and commemorative photos.
As mapping technology relies on light projection, mapping shows will only take place at night, scheduled at 7 p.m., 8 p.m., and 9 p.m., with each performance lasting ten minutes.
Organizers have also installed AR (augmented reality) technology at the main gate area, enabling visitors to capture AR effects while watching the mapping performances, creating impressive video clips.
Visitors need to scan a QR code or watch a TikTok clip using the application and tap “Try AR effect” to record images of the 2026 Flower Street mascot anywhere and at any time.
