The patriotic musical program “To quoc trong tim 2026” (Motherland in the Heart) was held on August 23 at Van Phuc City, Ho Chi Minh City, to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day. Organized by Nhan Dan Newspaper and the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, the event drew approximately 40,000 to 50,000 spectators.
