Two planned stages for the Northern final night of Miss Vietnam 2018 due to bad weather

All seats for 2,500 spectators need to be erected on the flat surface of the square. A worker who is building the grandstand said that building the beauty pageant stage makes him more excited than building a normal stage. "We started installing it the day before yesterday. We are trying to concentrate on our work so that the weather does not affect the progress," he said, adding that there are currently 20 workers installing the grandstand and will continue to add more workers and equipment from Hanoi.

The performance area is up to more than 700m2 with a well-invested sound, lighting and visual system to create the grandeur of the Northern Final night.

The group of workers installing the frame for the LED screen system from Hanoi also arrived in Cua Lo and started work on the morning of July 16. "This frame is 16m high, 8m wide, and can withstand winds of level 11-12," said the group's technical manager. As planned, this part of the work was completed on the afternoon of July 17.

Both the stage and grandstand installation teams will be on duty in the grandstand area from now until the end of the final night, to promptly handle and fix any problems that may arise.

Backup stage

Thus, the stage of the final night of Miss Vietnam in the North at Cua Lo is expected to stand out against the vast night sea. With a width of 40m, equivalent to the Tuan Chau water music stage, it is considered the largest ever in the history of the Miss organization. Besides the grandstand, which can accommodate 2,500 spectators, thousands of people can also stand and observe from both sides, simultaneously grasping the developments through the large screen broadcasting live while feeling the atmosphere of the contest.

The stage and stands for the final night of Miss Vietnam in the North still stand up in the rain.

The issue that the Organizing Committee must pay attention to is the complicated and unpredictable weather situation. In Cua Lo, light to moderate rain has been happening for the past few days. Mr. Le Xuan Son, Editor-in-Chief of Tien Phong newspaper, Head of the Organizing Committee of Miss Vietnam 2018 said: "It is likely that the weather will still allow the final round to be held outdoors, so the Organizing Committee decided to stage the contest at Cua Lo beach. However, we are still preparing a second plan, if the weather is not favorable, we will hold the final round at the Vinh City Labor Culture House."

The change of location will of course cause difficulties for the Organizing Committee as the stage will almost have to be redesigned with a smaller scale than expected. The contestants' performance lineup will also have to be rearranged. Moving all the people and equipment from Cua Lo to Vinh is also not simple. And importantly, the Cultural House auditorium can only accommodate 1,200 spectators, no more. "The Organizing Committee will be very sorry if this possibility happens," said Mr. Le Xuan Son. "However, we are still very determined to dedicate to the audience nationwide, especially to the people of Nghe An, a cultural event, a truly magnificent Miss final night in weather conditions.".

“It is likely that the weather will still allow the final round to be held outdoors, so the organizers have decided to stage the show at Cua Lo beach. However, we are still preparing a second option, if the weather is not favorable, we will hold the final round at the Vinh City Labor Culture House.”
