On May 9, the People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa Province officially introduced its inaugural 2025 Sea Tourism and Culture Festival. The theme will be “Nha Trang says Hi!”, a vibrant and welcoming message to both local and international visitors.
This new festival will take the place of the previously planned 11th Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Sea Festival. For over two decades, the province has successfully organized ten editions of the Nha Trang sea festival, turning it into a beloved cultural and tourism brand. However, with changing circumstances, including ongoing administrative restructuring under central government policies, local authorities have decided to cancel the traditional event and instead bring fresh energy through this new festival format.

According to the Vice Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee, Dinh Van Thieu, 2025 Sea Tourism and Culture Festival presents a valuable opportunity to showcase the province’s distinctive identity as "the land of Agarwood and the sea of bird’s nest". It also aims to highlight Khanh Hoa’s image, all while boosting tourism to meet the province’s growth targets for 2025.
Taking place over a full month from June 7 to July 9 in the beautiful coastal city of Nha Trang, the event promises a rich and diverse experience. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, Nha Trang is ready to say hi with open arms.
