Regarding reception arrangements, agencies clarified plans for reception staff, support personnel, logistics and communication assistance for international guests. Preparations also include emergency vehicles, medical personnel and food safety measures.

Departments, agencies and local authorities are continuing to coordinate with and support the organizers in completing procedures and updating information on delegates, artists and event schedules to develop consistent, detailed service plans.

The Vietnam Jazz Heritage Festival 2026, organized under the lead of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, is scheduled to take place from November 6 to 8, 2026, in Xuan Huong - Da Lat Ward.

The entire cost of the festival will be sponsored by THE ONE DESTINATION Joint Stock Company. The event will be organized by Dalat Land Investment, Construction and Trading Joint Stock Company, a member of THE ONE DESTINATION Joint Stock Company.

Accelerating Preparations for the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival

Preparations for the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival 2026 are also progressing, with agencies, units and local authorities actively carrying out assigned tasks. Many items have produced tangible results and are moving into the implementation stage.

According to the plan, the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival 2026 will feature 12 main programs and 28 supporting activities, with major events concentrated in the Da Lat area throughout December 2026. The opening ceremony is scheduled for December 19, 2026. The New Year 2027 artistic program, combined with the closing ceremony, is scheduled for December 31, 2026.

However, with limited time remaining before the festival’s main activities, several important matters still need to be finalized, including plans, budgets, organizational arrangements, and responsibilities for appraisal and approval.

Programs involving substantial workloads, particularly the opening and closing ceremonies, floral displays, landscape improvements, and flower exhibitions, require focused direction and timely resolution of outstanding issues to keep preparations on schedule.

To ensure the events meet the required standards, Vice Chairman Dinh Van Tuan assigned the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to serve as the focal point for coordination and consolidation, working with the Office of the Provincial People’s Committee to urgently finalize the organizational plans. The department must maintain regular communication and promptly report emerging issues.

Vice Chairman Dinh Van Tuan emphasized the need for thorough appraisal of all program content, from individual performances and song lyrics to projected images. The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism must coordinate with the Provincial Police and relevant agencies to review and complete all required procedures, proactively reporting to and seeking guidance from ministries and central agencies on matters within their jurisdiction.

Alongside artistic content, the relevant units must develop plans to ensure security and public order, traffic safety, fire prevention and firefighting, and safety at event venues. Xuan Huong - Da Lat Ward must coordinate with the Department of Construction, Provincial Police and event organizers to conduct site inspections and arrange suitable parking areas, traffic diversions, lighting systems and directional signage for residents and visitors.

Vice Chairman Dinh Van Tuan also called for thorough preparations for reception, logistics and transportation for delegates and artists. Staff capable of communicating in English, emergency vehicles and medical personnel must be available to respond promptly to any situation.

For investment promotion and networking activities, relevant agencies must coordinate to prepare materials introducing Lam Dong’s potential and investment opportunities, helping promote the province to delegates, businesses and invited guests.

Strengthening Coordination and Ensuring Timely Implementation

To keep the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival 2026 on schedule, Dinh Van Tuan requested that all departments, agencies, units and local authorities clearly define their tasks, implementation timelines, deadlines and responsible focal points. This will provide a basis for monitoring progress, compiling reports, urging implementation and promptly resolving difficulties and obstacles.

Departments, agencies, units and local authorities assigned to lead individual festival programs must prepare detailed Gantt charts setting out the work schedule for each assigned program and activity.

Dinh Van Tuan also called on relevant units to continue mobilizing agencies, organizations, businesses and residents to participate in activities supporting the festival. Priorities include the campaign “Everyone Plants Flowers, Every Household Plants Flowers and Greenery,” flower-lined streets, floral spaces, flower-themed structures and community-funded activities.

The Vice Chairman urged all departments, agencies and local authorities to take a proactive approach to their assigned responsibilities and address emerging issues promptly. These efforts aim to ensure that the 11th Da Lat Flower Festival 2026 is organized in a coordinated, practical and effective manner, on schedule and in compliance with regulations, while creating a lasting impression on residents and domestic and international visitors.
