New Year’s Eve 2018 Vietnam Guide – Events, Parties and Much More
While many countries in the world are celebrating the beginning of 2018, many others are actually waiting a few weeks to welcome their New Year. Vietnam is one of them since its New Year is saved for the Tết Holiday (Feast of the First Morning of the First Day), which is the same as Chinese New Year. However, in the recent years, big cities like Hanoi and Saigon have been making enormous efforts in celebrating Gregorian New Year. Therefore, here comes our guide to spending your New Year’s Eve in Saigon and Hanoi this year. Hope you will have a wonderful New Year’s Eve in Vietnam! We wish you all the best wishes in 2018!

Those are such wonderful parties to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Vietnam. This year, I just stayed at home spending time with my family but we did have a cozy New Year’s Eve together. Thanks for your sharing.
Celebrating New Year’s in Vietnam would be such a unique experience. India has its own New Year which is as per Hindu tradition. I would love to experience a Chinese New Year. I would love to attend the Tiger remix music festival. Looks so cool.
I attended LIGHTS and it was so much fun. Despite a lot of people jostling one another, I couldn’t help but feel the hype while famous artists were performing. If there’s another festival like that, I will definitely go!
These are the exact crazy and energetic way to start a brand new year. New life, new people, and new changes. I hope to be a part of these crowds some day.
