The Danang Food Tour Festival 2026 was held in Da Nang from May 20–24, 2026. On the opening day, "Gánh vị Đà Nẵng" featured more than 70 shoulder-pole stalls making their way along the seafront, with the official opening following on May 21. While earlier coverage focused primarily on the queues, the overall venue was a large-scale event encompassing more than 200 food and beverage booths and hands-on activities.
The figure of 70 refers to parade participants, not the total number of stalls
According to the Da Nang City Tourism Portal, more than 70 stalls took part in the May 20 parade. Meanwhile, the "Essence of Quảng Cuisine" area at East Sea Park featured more than 200 local, domestic, and international booths. Some pre-event announcements cited a figure of over 100, so it is necessary to distinguish between projected numbers and figures announced at the time of the event.
Venue and hours
| Item | Actual figures |
|---|---|
| Period | May 20–24, 2026 (concluded) |
| Official opening | May 21 |
| Main venue | East Sea Park |
| Related venues | Tam Thanh Beach Square and others |
| Parade | 70+ shoulder-pole stalls, May 20 |
| Food and beverage area | Announced at the time of the event as featuring 200+ booths |
Tam Thanh Beach Square is not near My Khe Beach in the former Da Nang city center; it is in an area to the south that became part of Da Nang city following administrative reorganization. Assuming everything is along My Khe Beach will lead to misjudging travel distances.
Two perspectives on recreating street food culture
The staging of shoulder poles, vendor calls, and cyclos served as an entry point for visitors to experience everyday Quảng regional food. At the same time, it is worth keeping in mind the importance of not reducing the livelihood of itinerant vendors to a photogenic performance. A full assessment of cultural preservation requires looking at who prepared the food and whether the revenue reached local small-scale operators.
Related programming continues through December 2026
According to an announcement by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, related activities under Danang Food Tours 2026 are planned to continue from May through December, extending the culinary journey to Hoi An, Điện Bàn, Tam Kỳ, and Đại Lộc. This does not mean the same stalls from the May seaside festival will be on permanent display. Please check official sources for individual tour dates, organizers, and prices.
If you are using this article for current planning
Proper nouns, prices, and opening hours are subject to change. I would check the publication date and the period covered in the article, then cross-reference with official information from the operator or relevant authority just before visiting. For reviews, I read the posting date and specific conditions of use rather than the overall score. Having one nearby alternative ready means that if something sells out, the weather turns bad, a venue is closed, or there are delays, your itinerary is less likely to fall apart.
To preserve the amount of information in the article, the policy is to retain the background and options covered in the original article and correct only errors.

What to keep in mind for your next visit
At outdoor food events, choose stalls by checking how long food has been sitting out, whether it is heated, handwashing facilities, and whether prices are displayed, and sample a little from several places for safety. If the event spans multiple venues, confirm distances on a map even if the names sound similar. The 2026 event has concluded, so please do not add it to your itinerary as a regular event until the next dates are announced.

Check the update date
Check the update date in the body of the article, not just the search result excerpt. If you are unsure whether figures or proper nouns are still current, go to the primary source from the company, organizer, or government authority. If no official page can be found, treat that fact itself as a factor in your judgment, and do not make bookings or long trips based on old articles alone.
