Central streets of Hanoi have been vibrantly decorated with flags, flowers, banners, and large posters to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital (October 10, 1954 – 2026).

Displays of panels recreating the moment the victorious troops marched in to take over the capital in 1954 not only evoke a glorious historical chapter but also foster a sense of pride, reminding today's generation to cherish the value of peace and independence.

 

To mark the occasion, the city is organizing a wide range of cultural and artistic programs; a highlight will be the fireworks displays at Hoan Kiem Lake and West Lake on the evening of October 10, 2026, creating a joyful and spirited atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.
