The Lam Dong provincial People’s Committee has decided to reschedule the Da Lat Flower Festival from 2009 to 2010 to coordinate with the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi. The event, previously scheduled for December 19-23, 2009, will be held from January 1-4, 2010.

It will be the country’s first major event of 2010, kicking off a lineup of cultural activities to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.

Preparations for the event have been virtually completed, with a general programme, opening and closing scripts and a budget already approved.
