The festival was recognised as one of 15 national intangible cultural heritages by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2016.
According to the organisers, the best part of the thousand-year-old festival is the huge firecracker procession.
In the procession, each cracker was alternately carried by around 30 young men from the traditional cultural house to the ground of the communal house.
The festival is associated with the myth of Saint Thien Cuong, who fought Xich Quy invaders.
It is organised annually in honour of Saint Thien Cuong’s glorious victory, who came from the Dong Ky Village.
The bodies of the crackers were carved with the images of a dragon, a kylin, a turtle and a phoenix, to express hope for favourable weather.
In addition to the cracker procession, the festival also features other folk games like wrestling, cock fighting, and Quan Ho love duet singing.
