Cultural events and digital development in Vietnam

Various cultural and artistic events are scheduled across Vietnam for late 2026. In Dong Nai City, the 2026 Culture and Great Unity Week is set for November 18 to November 24, featuring the theme “Dong Nai - Flow of Connection, City Reaching Far.” Planned activities include culinary showcases, heritage tours, handicraft exhibitions, and the 7th Dong Nai Friendship Melody Festival.

In Da Nang, the Da Nang Art Creatives Connection (DACC 2026) opened on October 30 and runs through November 8. Under the theme “History of Tomorrow,” the event involves approximately 30 artists and curators from Vietnam and Southeast Asia, offering exhibitions and workshops at the Da Nang Museum and the Cham Sculpture Museum. Following this, Da Nang will host its own Culture and Great Unity Week from November 18 to November 24, which will include ethnic community rituals and activities in locations such as My Son and Hoi An.

In Dong Nai, the DIGIFEST Dong Nai 2026 forum has focused on advancing a digital logistics ecosystem and smart urban planning. Officials and experts are working to integrate the upcoming Long Thanh International Airport with maritime ports, including Phuoc An and Go Dau-Phuoc Thai, and 57 industrial zones. This strategy aims to create a high-quality multimodal transport network and connect the airport to global value chains. Key priorities include using digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and GIS to manage smart transportation, environmental monitoring, flood warnings, and digitized public services.
