On March 16, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Gia Lai province said that the real-scene art program with the theme "Gia Lai - The Great Forest Touches the Blue Sea" and Mega Concert promise to create the opening night of the National Tourism Week - Gia Lai 2026.
The opening week takes place from 8:10 PM to 9:30 PM on March 28th at Nguyen Tat Thanh Square (Quy Nhon ward). Immediately after the opening ceremony, Mega Concert will start after 9:30 PM and last until the end of the program.
The art program is staged in a large-scale real-scene format, including 4 art programs, recreating the journey connecting from the great forest to the blue sea.
The performances are symbolic, recreating the origin of life and the aspiration for development. The gong space of the Central Highlands blends with the spirit of the great forest, while the heroic spirit of Tay Son is expressed through strong performances, honoring the heroic tradition of the martial land.
When the great forest "touches" the blue sea, romantic and poetic images appear, evoking memories of the homeland of many famous and talented poets belonging to the Ban Thanh Tu Huu group including Han Mac Tu, Che Lan Vien, Quach Tan, Yen Lan.
According to the organizers, "The Great Forest Touches the Blue Sea" is not only a geographical intersection, but also a meeting between the spirit of mountains and forests and the breath of the ocean; it is a journey from the majestic plateau to the poetic coastal region; it is a place where gong sounds connect the poetic sky with the martial land; it is a bridge connecting the heroic past with a bright future.
The combination of wild animals of the great forest and the brilliant colors of the ocean creates a harmonious beauty of nature. From there, the story of cultural - human exchange is opened up as a symbol of a new era of beauty, integration, modernity and development.
The program promises to take viewers through many levels of emotions, such as being "touched" by this land from the original light, the spirit of the great forest, the heroic spirit of Tay Son to the moment the great forest touches the blue sea.
After the opening ceremony, the series of events within the framework of the National Tourism Year - Gia Lai 2026 will continue to explode with the Mega Concert, gathering the "Say Hi" Universe star lineup.
The prominent names present at this music festival include Isaac, HIEUTHUHAI, Hurrykng, Anh Tu, Pham Anh Duy, Tez, Mason Nguyen, Son. K, Lamoon, Bui Truong Linh, CONGB, Juky San.
These are all young artists who are being loved by audiences, own many "hits" and regularly make their mark at major music festivals in recent times.
The series of events is a journey connecting music - tourism - culture, where the great Central Highlands meets the green color of the sea, opening up a festival space rich in emotions and imbued with identity.
During the program, a special fireworks display also took place, contributing to increasing the attraction of the opening night.
