Nguyen Hue Flower Street remains the highlight, featuring a design inspired by a spring symphony with three thematic chapters: “Spring Integration”, “Brilliant Roots” and “A Steady Future”.

According to the preliminary schedule, construction of the flower street is set to take place between January 29 and February 15. The exhibition period will span eight days, beginning at 7 p.m. on February 15 and concluding at 9 p.m. on February 22, falling from the 28th day of the 12th lunar month to the sixth day of the 1st lunar month.

Notably, the mascot displays and major installations at the entrance and exit gates will remain open until 9 p.m. on March 22, 2026, to meet public demand.

A key feature of this year’s event is the international cultural exchange space, reflecting the spirit of “Spring Convergence.” It introduces visitors to New Year-themed designs presented by diplomatic missions and consulates general of the United Kingdom, India, Laos, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Malaysia, China and Thailand in Ho Chi Minh City. Each display showcases distinct national colors, contributing to Nguyen Hue Flower Street’s image as a symbol of solidarity, friendship and cultural exchange.
