FUSE CARNIVAL BROUGHT THE RIO VIBES TO VIETNAM WITH BEACH PARTIES, DJS & BACHATA DANCING

If you’re looking for what to do in Hoi An, you just missed one of the most epic weekends of the year! The FUSE Carnival took over the streets of Hoi An from February 28 to March 2, bringing the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro right to Vietnam. It was a non-stop celebration filled with live DJs, drink deals, games, and giveaways—all set against the backdrop of the stunning beaches and buzzing streets of Hoi An. Whether you’re a local or a backpacker searching for the best social hostel in Hoi An, FUSE is the place to be!

The Ultimate Beachside Bash 

The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the Beachside Bash on March 2—the first pool party of the year and an unforgettable way to wrap up the carnival weekend. Held at Barefoot Beach Club, FUSE’s very own beachside restaurant and bar, it was just steps away from FUSE Beachside Hoi An Hostel. This spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for fun things to do in Hoi An and is known for throwing some of the wildest parties in town.

Pool Party at FUSE Beachside

The afternoon kicked off with DJ Jasim spinning tropical beats that set the perfect vibe for a poolside party. The energy was sky-high as guests dove into the pool, splashed around, and joined in on the games like Cannonball Competition, Pool Samba Line, Caipirinha Cup Races, and Brazilian Beach Ball Volleyball. With drink deals flowing and colorful cocktails in hand, everyone was ready to dance, laugh, and party the day away.

Dancing into the Night

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the after party at Barefoot Beach Club kept the momentum going. Guests were treated to a fiery dance class by Frog Goose Dance Lab, a top Bachata dance school from Da Nang, where everyone got a taste of Latin dance moves and joined the fun. DJ Despierte kept the beats going late into the night, mixing a blend of salsa, reggaeton, and tropical house that had everyone moving non-stop.

If you’re hunting for the best social hostel in Hoi An or planning your next big night out, don’t miss events like this one. The FUSE Carnival showed that when it comes to events in Hoi An, no one does it better than FUSE.

A Weekend of Epic Vibes

The carnival spirit wasn’t just limited to March 2. The celebrations kicked off on February 28, with the Carnival Moon Fiesta Party in Old Town. The streets were alive with the sounds of samba, colorful lights, and the buzz of excitement. Free-flow drinks kept spirits high as guests danced to the rhythms of Rio with DJ Gaydah. The next day also brought more excitement with Salsa, Shots & Songs—a night of beer pong, karaoke, and shot challenges that kept the energy alive all night long.
