A fireworks display at Hoan Kiem Lake

The open-air concert by 400 singers and dancers, martial artists, and pupils, took place on the banks of Hoan Kiem Lake.

The artistic performance began with a lion dance, followed by a demonstration of Vovinam (Vietnamese marital art), and songs about the Vietnamese people and the country.

The audience also enjoyed video clips featuring Hanoi’s history, from the Dinh Dynasty (968-980) to the day when President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence (September 2, 1945).

Fireworks displays and concerts were also held in other locations across the country to mark National Day.
