Anyone in Mui Ne this weekend?

Why are all the venues shut, where did you get that info from.

General Giap's funeral. Art. 8 of decree No. 62/2001/ND-CP. All live music events, DJs, and other entertainment programs (including cinemas and sports broadcasts, I think) have to be cancelled from Friday 6pm to Sunday 6pm. A bunch of events got cancelled/postponed. Seems like there won't be much happening in the city this weekend.

Interesting, love to see them police it, maybe a few bribes will fix it, the local Colonel loves Uncle Ho's picture.

Is this applicable to whole Vietnam?
I was planning to go Dalat this weekend

I would advise you to postpone your trip to Đà Lạt until next weekend.

Although there's only three "official" places that are holding memorial services, you can bet EVERY TOWN and CITY will follow suit and have unofficial grieving/mourning gatherings.

He is a national hero.

I doubt it in this case.  It's not a top down decree that needs enforcement.  I think local shopkeepers are aware and will shut down to honor a national hero.

Think it would be a good idea to stay home this weekend everybody. We were invited to a wedding party that was scheduled for this Sunday. One of the family members stopped by this afternoon and let us know the date had been changed. I didn't think anything in this country would out rank a wedding party.

Yup, already cancelled by confirming with the tourism authorities in Dalat

That's not necessarily a bad thing.  Forces you to go outside and exercise by dodging motorbikes, smell the clean fresh air of exhaust fumes, meditate on top of a building while listening to the ever-ending sounds of horn beeping...
