Bổ Đà Pagoda Festival

In the thick incense smoke, from the bottom of everyone’s hearts, people turn towards goodness, praying for all blessings to come to their families and clans. Scenes of warm welcomes, enthusiastic invitations, meetings, well wishes, and heartfelt farewells fill the atmosphere with human warmth. On the temple grounds, singing troupes and performance groups continuously entertain for several days and nights.

Then there are the scenes of Quan họ singing, the ritual of offering betel leaves and water by the matched couples, making the festival even livelier and more joyful. Alongside solemn and respectful ceremonies, the Bổ Đà temple festival also features some traditional folk games like wrestling, cockfighting, stealing the bridge, and swinging, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
