Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee has recently approved the programs of Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa Sea Festival 2017 which is slated to take place in June 10-13. The festival is planned to contain 50 cultural, sports, tourism and trade activities. Although the number of activities of this year’s sea festival is not as many as the previous years, the new ideas for the 2017 festival are expected to bring a more festive atmosphere to the locals and tourists. There are many activities that locals and tourists can take part in, for example “I love Nha Trang” game, flying with Nha Trang, taking sefies with Nha Trang’s sea and island, and folk games, etc. Some folk games played on the beach will partly reflect the daily life of people living in coastal areas.
According to director Le Quy Duong, who is responsible for the main programs of the 2017 Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa Sea Festival, apart from the familiar activities, this year’s sea festival is incorporated some activities for the public with the aim to add more attraction to the festival. People who love make-up can be interest in “I love Nha Trang” game while “Flying with Nha Trang” competition is for people who love flying cameras. The participants of “Flying with Nha Trang” prize-winning competition will film a video about the beauty and dynamism of Nha Trang. The videos will be played on the LED screen placed at the beach park opposing to Khanh Hoa Radio-Television Station.
“Taking selfies with Nha Trang” is also a prize-winning contest, in which the participants will take their selfies with smartphone at the places arranged by the organizers; post them on Facebook and tag the contest’s fan page. The participant of the most liked selfie will be winner.
Another interesting activity of the Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa Sea Festival is “Discovery Nha Trang” contest. The contestants will be provided smart phones and computers to make a film to promote Nha Trang beach. The films, also shown on LED screen, will be voted by the public and judged by professional people.
“We would like that both locals and tourists can enjoy the sea festival and will be a part of the festival. They are not only the spectators but also the ones who contribute to create the festival,” said Le Quy Duong.
The main activities also include some new features. Specifically, the street arts festival will be take place in an open space instead of at 2-4 Square. This change will help the performers to have more exchanges with the spectators. “Đêm ngọc trai” (pearl night) and EDM night “We are raver” are the other new activities of this year’s festival. Beside Vietnamese artists, the EDM night may see the attendance of some artists from other countries.
