📝 About Vietnam National Day 2026
On September 2, 1945, Ho Chi Minh stood before a massive crowd at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi and read the Declaration of Independence, deliberately echoing phrases from both the American and French declarations to assert Vietnam's right to self-governance after nearly a century of French colonial rule. The declaration set the stage for decades of conflict, first against the returning French and later against the United States. Today the holiday is marked by official ceremonies at Ba Dinh Square, military parades, and cultural performances. Streets are decorated with red flags, and the evening features fireworks over Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi and the Saigon River in Ho Chi Minh City.
