However, as this is a major event with a large number of participants and strict security requirements, attendees need to prepare carefully and comply with important regulations to help maintain a solemn atmosphere and general safety.

1. Things to keep in mind when watching parades

Watching the parade on the occasion of National Day September 2nd is always a meaningful, sacred and profound experience for every Vietnamese citizen. This is not only an opportunity for you to feel the spirit of national solidarity but also helps you understand more about the glorious history and pride of the country.

However, to make the viewing session complete, meaningful and safe, you need to prepare carefully, understand the relevant regulations, and show an attitude appropriate to the solemnity of the event.

Come early, choose a suitable location

Since the roads around the parade area are often diverted or closed to traffic for security reasons, you should plan your travel accordingly and arrive at least 1 to 2 hours in advance. This will not only help you choose a good viewing spot but also avoid the hassle of heavy traffic.

Take advantage of tools like maps or traffic information to determine the best route for you.

When arriving, choosing an observation position also plays a very important role in helping you fully enjoy the solemn and majestic atmosphere of the parade. The ideal position is often located along the main roads where the parade will pass.

If you don't have the chance to go to the central area, the venues with big screens are a great alternative that will help you keep track of all the activities without missing any memorable moments.

Dress neatly and appropriately for the weather

You should prioritize polite, comfortable clothes that show respect for a solemn event.

If you want to show patriotism, you can wear a t-shirt with a red flag and yellow star or a traditional ao dai.

Bring hats, sunglasses and use sunscreen in case of hot weather.

Have a light raincoat or umbrella ready in case of light rain.

Bring necessary items

Don't forget to bring drinking water, tissues, and a hand fan or mini handheld fan to be ready to deal with the hot weather.

Make sure your phone is fully charged and bring a spare charger just in case.

If traveling with young children, be prepared with snacks, water, a wide-brimmed hat to protect from the sun, as well as ear protection to reduce noise, especially if your child is sensitive to loud sounds.

Comply with security regulations and instructions of authorities

When participating in crowded activities, you should avoid jostling and pushing, especially in areas with security checkpoints to ensure order and safety.

Do not climb fences, trees or stand on high objects to observe, because this is not only dangerous but also creates a bad impression in public.

Avoid bringing items such as knives, sharp scissors, flares, loud speakers or objects that can disrupt public order.

Always pay attention and follow instructions from security or security staff to help keep the event running smoothly and safely.

Keep clean and do not litter

Prepare a small bag to contain personal waste to avoid affecting the surrounding environment.

Limit writing, drawing, or pasting papers on trees, walls, or signs in public areas to preserve the general landscape.

Protect personal property

Since you will be attending a crowded event, always be alert to the risk of pickpocketing or losing your belongings in crowded places.

Choose a small bag, worn in front of your chest for easy observation and protection. Avoid keeping your wallet or phone in your back pocket, as it can be easily taken advantage of by thieves.

Do not carry large amounts of cash or valuables to limit risks.

Maintain order and proper attitude

First, it is essential to maintain order and maintain a proper attitude. Participants should avoid behaviors such as shouting, whistling or joking when the parade or marching procession passes by. These actions not only cause disorder but also affect the solemn atmosphere of the event.

Second, show seriousness and respect to the forces participating in the parade. This is how each person can show civility and respect to those who are performing this important task. Proper attitude not only reflects personal consciousness but also demonstrates civic culture in community events.

Finally, you should absolutely not record videos or livestream in areas where recording is prohibited. Especially for scenes involving special military vehicles or sensitive activities, compliance with this regulation not only helps ensure security but also reflects seriousness in fulfilling civic responsibilities.

2. What should we do to preserve memories?

To preserve memorable memories when participating in watching parades and marches on National Day, you can consider some of the following ways:

Bring a good quality camera or phone to capture memorable moments.

Choose outfits that are full of national symbols, such as the red shirt with yellow star, combined with holding the national flag, wearing Vietnamese flag stickers or accessories that show love for the homeland. These details will help your photos become more meaningful and outstanding.
