The play "Legendary Journey" is expected to be the highlight of this special event. It consists of 5 chapters, telling the story of historic train journeys, closely linked to the remarkable milestones in the formation and development of Ho Chi Minh City.

Set against the romantic backdrop of the Saigon River, 1,000 professional actors will perform with cinematic effects applied to the stage production, such as 3D Mapping and 1,000 drones flying in the sky. The flexible changing scenes of the play will provide the audience with spectacular performances.

Regarding the venue and time of the event, this year's festival will be held at the Saigon Port area, Nha Rong Wharf, and some districts along the Saigon River. The timing is also different from last year, occurring at the beginning of summer, the peak season for international tourists visiting Ho Chi Minh City, aiming to minimize the negative impact of weather conditions.

The event will also enhance cultural, artistic, and water sports activities, including water motor performances, SUP rowing, swimming competitions, recreating the scene of the Mekong Delta floating market, and culinary experiences.

Spectacular fireworks will light up the Saigon sky on the opening night, May 31st.

With careful preparation, the Saigon Water Festival promises to attract more tourists than last year.
