Lim Festival is a signature regional event that vividly showcases the cultural identity of the area previously known as Kinh Bac region. This year, the organising committee has arranged 10 Quan Ho singing pavilions at the centre of Lim Hill, around Van Tuong Lake, and in several nearby locations.
A new highlight of this year’s festival is the expansion of Quan Ho singing space, offering visitors a richer cultural experience. Activities include folk song exchanges and performances on stage, singing at communal houses and temples, singing on boats, singing in traditional Quan Hoguesthouses and artisans’ homes, as well as traditional Quan Ho melodies.

Building on the success and enthusiastic support of visitors from the past two festival seasons, this year, the organising committee has also set up an additional Quan Ho signing space for little singers.
Attending Lim Festival, visitors can also immerse themselves in a variety of unique and traditional folk games, such as du tien (swinging), wrestling, and human chess.
