The event, themed "Festival within a Festival", will run for three weeks in Can Gio. The entire venue is adorned in a traditional Tet holiday style, featuring welcoming gates, large displays of the Binh Ngo zodiac animal, and artistic photo-op areas. This marks the first time Can Gio has hosted such a large-scale entertainment complex, blending traditional culture with modern sports activities.

The spring flower festival area brings together 300 northern peach trees and 300 southern ochna trees, creating a vibrant space symbolizing national unity. A highlight is the 130-year-old Phu Quy ochna tree, transported from An Giang. Standing 10 m tall with a 10 m wide canopy, it is among the largest ancient ochna trees in the Mekong Delta. Visitors can admire its beauty throughout the Tet holiday.

A unique feature of this year's festival is the aerial experience. For the first time, 22 colorful hot air balloons will operate in Can Gio. Visitors can observe panoramic views of the flower paths, coastline, and forest from above. Additionally, paragliding demonstrations will take place on the opening day (7/2), Valentine's day (14/2), and Tat Nien (the day before Tet, 15/2). Thrill-seeking visitors can register for tandem flights with experts using specialized equipment.

Beyond entertainment, cultural elements are also emphasized through a three-region culinary space and specialty stalls. Visitors can participate in folk games like bamboo dancing, lion and dragon dances, watch calligraphers give auspicious characters, or experience making banh tet (traditional sticky rice cakes). Notably, high-altitude fireworks displays will light up the sky on the opening day and New Year's Eve, marking the first Tet holiday since the project's groundbreaking in 4/2025.

To spread the message "Tet in Green Paradise", the organizers have prepared 2,026 lucky money envelopes on a giant prosperity tree, containing service vouchers and green plant gifts. During three fixed times daily, visitors can also receive Tet specialties such as gio (pork sausage), nem chua (fermented pork roll), and wine. This activity creates a lively atmosphere while introducing regional products to international visitors.

According to the investor, organizing such a large-scale festival in its inaugural year demonstrates the developer's infrastructure implementation capabilities. A representative stated, "With a sustainable development orientation following ESG++ standards, Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio aims to become a premier international destination, targeting 40 million visitors annually, contributing to making Can Gio a new tourism hub in the southern region."
