Sia Town to host first Tam Giang Festival next May

The first Tam Giang Festival which seeks to promote tourism destinations in Thua Thien – Hue Province’s Sia Town will be held next May.
This was announced by the Quang Dien District People’s Committee on Monday.
The festival gets its name from the Tam Giang Lagoon where it will be held, and is distinct from other Tam Giang Festivals that are celebrated as traditional fishermen’s rituals elsewhere in the country.
On May 1 and 2, next year, the main stage on the surface of Tam Giang Lagoon at the Con Toc pier will host several events including cultural activities of the village including traditional music and art performances and a food fair.
Visitors to the festival will also be able to participate in voyages of discovery with organised tours to historic Quang Dien District destinations like the Hoa Chau cidatel (major town in South Viet Nam during the Tran and Le dynasties), the Phuoc Yen and Bac Vong citadels (metropolis of South Viet Nam under the Nguyen dynasty) and other cultural monuments.
