The Hai Chau Village Communal House Festival 2023 is slated to take place on April 26 and 27. It will feature many solemn traditional activities and exciting folk games.

In particular, the vigil ceremony will take place on the afternoon of April 26 and a ceremony to honour ancestors and to pray for peace and prosperity throughout the year will be held on the morning of April 27.

As for festive activities, there will be a drawing contest themed ‘I love homeland’ and a folk singing and dancing competition for primary schools, some sports games of tug of war, relay sack jumping and chess, and other folklore activities.

The Hai Chau Village Communal House Festival is held annually on the occasion of Hung Kings' death anniversary on the 10^th day of the third lunar month, aiming to celebrate the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30).

The annual event aims to preserve and transfer culture between generations, and satisfy the cultural and spiritual needs of the community. It also creates a useful playground for local people to participate in and enjoy cultural values, thereby contributing to promoting tourism images of Hai Chau District, and Da Nang as a whole.
