The festival, which is one of Vietnam’s biggest ritual events of the year, includes a prayer ceremony for a year of peace, prosperity and happiness for the nation; as well as a folk music performance of bai choi (a card game in which players also sing).

A zen-tea exhibition, a candle-lit flower releasing, boat-races, traditional folk games and a martial arts performance will be held within the three-day festival.

The annual event is regarded as one of the most special tourism festivals in Vietnam and also a community cultural event, which helps preserve and uphold national cultural values.
