This information was officially released by Mrs Chu Khanh Huong, the Director of the VietArt Media Company which has taken responsibility for designing and implementing the flower street project.  It will cost 5 billion VND which will come from public donations.

Mrs Huong said that the impressive lighting show will take place at the project’s “Lighting Garden” area near the Rong (Dragon) Bridge and it is expected to enthral local residents and visitors. 

There will be a DJ and musical performances plus other interesting activities to entertain visitors.  The event will run from 9:30pm until the project’s Lunar New Year’s Eve countdown celebration.
