Hoi An/Da Nang Weekend Guide - Things to do in Hoi An July 31 - August 2
The Sunset Sessions — The Surf & Turf, Cẩm An
Golden hour, done right. A fresh mixed seafood BBQ plate runs 350k and comes with a beer, a glass of wine, or an Aperol Spritz — no upsell required. Live music from 5 to 7:30PM, Happy Hour drinks 4 to 6PM, and the beach doing what the beach does best. Roll in at 4, catch the sunset, stay for the set.
SONIC! Sunrise Beach Sessions — Sat, Aug 1, Saranai Beach
Dance till the sun comes up. Twelve hours on the sand — 6PM to 6AM — inside a Bedouin stretch tent pitched right at the water's edge, with a sound system built for the beach. House, UK breaks and techno from Devin, George Haruld, Jazz Cat Luong, Just Ngoc, Patrick S and Red. Sunset drinks, ocean backdrop, and all of it in support of Ong Vang Charity. Come for the sunset. Stay for the sunrise.
Jazz in the Garden — Saturday — 7 Bridges Hoi An Taproom
Slow the week down to a jazz tempo. Hat Jazz Band brings the smooth, mellow melodies to 7 Bridges' green garden courtyard — cold craft beer in hand, good friends across the table, no rush to be anywhere. The kind of easy evening August was made for. Grab a seat in the garden.
Hoi An Community Zero Waste Market — Saturdays, Cam Kim
Bring your food scraps, your clean plastics, and your empty bottles. Every Saturday morning the Zero Waste Center turns into a market where you refill cleaning products, shop chemical-free local produce, swap secondhand goods, and feed your leftovers to actual chickens. Local food and drinks, hands-on workshops, and a genuinely green morning out. 8:30AM–12PM, behind Nguyen Duy Homestay in Cam Kim. Come do good and stock up.
Music Game & Open Mic Night — Sundays, Roots Bar, An Bang Beach
Two ways to win the night. First, test your music knowledge for drinks and surprises. Then grab the mic and do your thing — sing, rap, jam, or freestyle it. Cold beers, good food, and a beach garden that grooves till late, hosted by Jen & LXD. Every Sunday from 6PM. Bring your crew and your rhythm.
