Many localities simultaneously set off fireworks to celebrate the announcement of the new province.

On the evening of June 30, many localities across the country simultaneously organized art programs and fireworks displays to celebrate the establishment of new provincial-level administrative units, after the National Assembly's Resolution on administrative unit arrangement officially took effect from July 1, 2025.

On the same morning, 34 provinces and cities across the country held a ceremony to announce resolutions and decisions of the National Assembly , the Central Government and localities related to the rearrangement of provincial and communal administrative units. This is an important milestone in the process of building a streamlined, effective and efficient government apparatus.

In the new Da Nang City (merged with Quang Nam Province), a special art program with the theme "Da Nang - Flying high with the country" took place on the banks of the Han River, accompanied by low-altitude fireworks displays on Tran Hung Dao Street (Da Nang) and 24/3 Square (Tam Ky City, Quang Nam).

Hai Phong City – a newly established centrally-governed city on the basis of merging with Hai Duong province – organized fireworks displays at the Opera House Square (Hai Phong) and the Eastern Cultural Center Square (Hai Duong).

In Phu Tho – the place where the three provinces of Phu Tho, Hoa Binh and Vinh Phuc are merged – a welcoming art program was held in Viet Tri City, with a 15-minute high-altitude and low-altitude fireworks display, starting at 9 p.m. at the Van Lang Park pedestrian bridge.

Lao Cai province (merged with Yen Bai) set off low-altitude fireworks at Dinh Le Square, Lao Cai city.

The new Ca Mau province, formed from the merger with Bac Lieu province, will organize high-altitude fireworks at two locations: Hung Vuong Square (Bac Lieu City) and Ward 5 Square (Ca Mau City).

Bac Ninh province – merged with Bac Giang – plans to hold an art and fireworks show on the evening of July 4 instead of June 30 due to weather effects.

Although not subject to merger, Quang Ninh province still organized a special art program and high-altitude fireworks display at Sun Carnival Square (Bai Chay ward, Ha Long city) to celebrate the official operation of the two-level local government.

Cao Bang province also organized a program "Welcoming the two-level local government into operation" with a folk dance performance by 1,000 people on central streets and fireworks at Bang Giang bridge and Bang river boat dock.

According to the direction of the Secretariat in the document dated June 24, provinces and cities are allowed to organize fireworks displays to celebrate this important event but do not use the state budget, and must ensure savings, efficiency and suitability to the situation of each locality.

According to the National Assembly's resolution on the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units, the country has reduced from 63 to 34 provinces and cities. 11 provinces and cities will remain the same, including: Hanoi, Hue, Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Son La, Lang Son, Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh and Cao Bang.

At the same time, the number of commune-level administrative units nationwide will be reduced to 3,321 communes, wards, and special zones, according to the decision of the National Assembly Standing Committee. Meanwhile, district-level administrative units including cities, provincial towns, cities within cities, and towns nationwide will be dissolved.

The above documents take effect from July 1, when 34 new provinces and cities, 3,321 communes, wards, special zones and the two-level local government model officially come into operation.
