This year’s parade is not only a display of military power, but also a picture of national will, pride and cultural beauty. Under the majestic music of the military bands, the synchronized footsteps of the parade groups have touched the hearts of millions of Vietnamese and international friends. Before that, the drum performance of the People’s Police Academy has stirred up the atmosphere in the Square. When tanks, missiles, and modern weapons rolled through the Square as a testament to the country's invincible strength, art appeared in the midst of that strength and determination like a gentle autumn breeze, breathing life into the ceremony, highlighting the cultural depth and the nation's desire for peace . The graceful folk dances, imbued with regional identities, made Ba Dinh Square shine. The colorful Ao Dai fluttering in the wind not only honored traditional beauty but also reminded us of a Vietnam entering a new era. Every movement, every sound, every color in the art performances carries a message: Vietnam is not only strong in its will to protect independence, but also rich in soul, identity and aspiration to reach far. Familiar melodies such as Tien Quan Ca, Viet Nam Que Huong Toi or revolutionary songs resounded, mixed with the applause of thousands of spectators, reviving the heroic history of the nation. The art in this year's ceremony was elaborately and delicately staged, becoming an inseparable part, contributing to honoring the beauty of the country and people of Vietnam through inspiring colors, sounds and images. The beauty of art in the National Day parade on September 2, 2025 at Ba Dinh Square is not only a highlight that softens the solemnity of the military spirit, but also a brilliant harmony, imbued with Vietnamese culture and national spirit. The parade is not only a historical event, but also a reminder that Vietnam's strength lies not only in the military or economy , but also in its cultural soul, in its love for the homeland, in the solidarity of the entire nation. Art, as an invisible thread, has made that heroic song complete, so that every Vietnamese person is more proud and more attached to their Fatherland. Children and artists shine in the autumn sunshine at historic Ba Dinh Square. One of the highlights of the arts in the National Festival is the presence of folk performances, vividly recreating the cultural identity of 54 ethnic groups. The art of military parades and marches is not just a performance, but also an invisible bridge connecting millions of Vietnamese hearts. The elaborately choreographed dances, songs, and symbolic images took the audience through a rich emotional journey: from pride in military power, to emotion when remembering the sacrifices of our ancestors, and finally gratitude and belief in the bright future of the country. The modern light and sound performances show a dynamic and integrated Vietnam. In particular, the image of young women in Ao Dai, holding red flags with yellow stars, walking in harmonious coordination has moved many audiences to tears. It is the image of a peaceful and proud Vietnam, always looking back to its roots but constantly reaching towards the future. The presence of art in the parade is not only a highlight, but also an affirmation of the cultural strength of the Vietnamese people. If the parade blocks and modern weapons represent the "unshakable" will of the country, then art is the voice of the soul, of love for the homeland, of the desire for peace. Artists participated in the parade. The Ao Dai, a symbol of Vietnamese beauty, was a highlight that could not be missed. Hundreds of artists, wearing Ao Dai of all colors, from the bright red of the national flag, the emerald green of the rice fields, to the bright yellow of the autumn sun, moved rhythmically in the parade blocks. The Ao Dai fluttered in the wind, blending with the early morning sunlight, creating a vivid picture, both elegant and proud, as an affirmation of a graceful yet powerful Vietnam. When the performances ended, the applause still echoed in Ba Dinh Square. But more than that, the art itself left a deep echo in the hearts of every Vietnamese person. It was the pride of a country that was not only strong in battle, but also rich in soul, identity and aspiration for peace. It was the community bond, when millions of people shared a common belief: Vietnam will continue to grow, maintain independence and develop prosperously.
