(GLO) – Streets and neighborhoods across Vietnam are being draped in red flags with yellow stars as the country prepares to celebrate National Day (September 2). From public spaces to family homes, the national flag has become the dominant symbol of pride and unity.

In Quy Nhon, more than 50 members of the Quy Nhon Nam Ward Youth Union launched the “National flag street project,” hanging over 1,300 meters of flags along Can Vuong and Nguyen Phuc Lan streets between August 24 and 26.

A similar display followed on Nguyen Hue Street on August 27, completed despite rainy weather.

“We hope this project will become a highlight of the holiday, allowing every passerby to feel the festive spirit,” said Bui Thi Thanh Loan, Secretary of the Quy Nhon Nam Ward Youth Union. “For young people, it is also a way to nurture pride when seeing the national flag flying in their hometown.”

The celebrations have extended beyond streetscapes. On August 27, the local Fatherland Front hosted a mass dance featuring nearly 200 women in red ao dai, carrying conical hats decorated with the national flag. “Dancing together made the holiday more joyful and spread the patriotic spirit,” said resident Do Le Hong, 59.

Families also joined in the festivities by dressing children in flag-themed outfits. “I bought my child a costume with the national flag and invited friends to take photos together,” said 31-year-old mother Tran Thanh Hien. “I hope these moments help children feel national pride from an early age.”

Community events have also embraced the symbol. On August 24, at Gia Lai Provincial General Hospital, members of “Club 25” of the provincial Red Cross wore national-flag shirts during a voluntary blood donation drive.

“The red flag made the event both meaningful and colorful,” said club leader Le Ngoc Thuong.

As National Day approaches, the red flag with a golden star has become a unifying image, seen on streets, in cultural performances, at social initiatives and across social media, reflecting the shared pride and solidarity of the Vietnamese people.
