Discover a Different Spring in Hoi An at the Festival of Light & Heritage at Hoi An Memories Land

Held for the very first time, the Festival of Light & Heritage 2026 opens a rich spring journey where light, art, and heritage blend together to paint a vibrant spring tableau in the heart of the heritage region. From there, visitors are guided into the memories of ancient Faifo — where local cultural values are reimagined through the language of contemporary visual arts, creating an experience that is both traditional and refreshingly new, while conveying wishes of peace and prosperity for the year ahead.

A Signature Highlight: Spectacular Dragon & Phoenix Drone Performance

The Festival of Light & Heritage 2026 highlights a spectacular large-scale Phoenix Drone Show, promising a breathtaking and emotionally stirring visual experience.

Under the theme “Châu Ấn Thuyền – A Heritage Painting”, the performance recreates the image of Faifo trading port in the 17th century and the Eastern symbols of prosperity — the Dragon and Phoenix — depicted through modern lighting technology, creating a unique harmony between tradition and the future.

More than just a visual spectacle, this performance is a creative statement by Hoi An Memories Land in its journey of telling heritage stories through the language of the contemporary era.

Giant Lantern Displays and Floating Lantern Wishes on the Poetic Hoai River

From February 17, 2026, visitors to Hoi An Memories Land will be mesmerized by magnificent giant lantern installations set across the land, creating a sparkling and impressive festive landscape.

Lanterns — symbols of peace and good fortune deeply rooted in the spiritual life of Hoi An locals — not only carry profound cultural meaning but also become striking visual highlights and must-visit check-in spots for visitors exploring Hoi An Memories Land this spring.

As soft lights drift across the water, each wish follows the current, leaving behind a tender and meaningful afterglow in every heart.
