The real estate developer Sun Group has been chosen to be the organiser of this international-level event in 2017, and every year thereafter.

DIFC 2017 will take ‘Toa Sang Ngu Hanh Son’ (Shining Marble Mountains) as its theme, and it is scheduled to take place between 29 April and 30 June.  It is expected that 8 teams will participate, with displays from 2 teams on any one day and one or 2 weeks apart. 

During DIFC 2017 there will be many fascinating cultural activities including lights and cuisine festivals, an electronic dance music (EDM) programme, the Master Chef Da Nang cooking contest, a street parade of live music and dancing, an international costume show, a photo contest, and a festival for children.

Speaking at the discussion, municipal People’s Committee Chairman Huynh Duc Tho agreed with the theme for DIFC 2017.  He stressed the need for Sun Group to inherit and promote the value of the city’s DIFC brand name in order to make this event even more attractive and professional. 

Chairman Tho underlined the necessity for relevant agencies to re-consider the organisational plan for DIFC 2017 which seems to be too long and expensive.
