The story

Da Lat Mai Anh Dao Flower Festival in Da Lat

Da Lat's Mai Anh Dao Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates the city's signature wild Himalayan cherry blossom each January, with the 2026 edition running from 16 to 31 January across Xuan Huong, Lam Vien and Langbiang wards. The festival combines flower-viewing with tree planting, cultural performances and Central Highlands gong music beneath the blossoms.

Da Lat's Mai Anh Dao, a wild cherry blossom species suited to the city's cool highland climate, has grown into something closer to a civic symbol than an ordinary ornamental flower, and the city's annual festival built around it reflects that status.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Mai anh dao, a wild cherry species distinctive to Da Lat's highland climate, functions almost as a civic emblem, tied to the city's founding and identity as Vietnam's cool-climate resort town, so the festival is less a generic flower show than a celebration of a locally rooted symbol

02

The mystery stays covered

The 2026 opening ceremony at Lam Vien Square carried the theme Da Lat Cherry Blossoms, A Gathering of Spring Colors, and programming extended beyond viewing to active participation: attendees can plant trees intended to keep expanding the city's blossom cover, try archery and horseback riding staged in blossom-filled spaces, and watch Central Highlands gong performances, an art form recognized by UNESCO, staged beneath the flowering canopy along Tran Hung Dao street
