When is the Nha Trang Sea Festival in July, and what time are the main events?

The main festival dates are set: Nha Trang Sea Festival will take place from July 17 to 19, with concerts and a festive program including fireworks.

The opening ceremony is scheduled for 8:00 pm on July 17 at 2/4 Square. Visitors can expect a large-scale show with AR Realtime, 3D mapping, and both high- and low-altitude fireworks.

The carnival procession and decorated float parade will take place on July 18 at 5:00 pm. It will move along Tran Phu Street, so the beachfront boulevard is the best area to watch.

The final events are set for July 19 at 8:00 pm: the closing ceremony and the major music show Unite the Continents. Organizers describe it as an international-style program highlighting cultures from different continents.

Before the Sea Festival, the city is also hosting a separate lion dance festival running until July 5. If you arrive before the main festival dates, this is another event worth catching.

Another schedule update confirms the key events: the parade is on July 18 at 5:00 pm along Tran Phu, and the closing on July 19 at 8:00 pm will be the festival’s final major concert.
