The Co Ba Cho Duoc Festival is held annually on the evening of the 11^th day of the 1^st lunar month in Phuoc Am Village, Binh Trieu Commune, Thang Binh District, Quang Nam Province.  It commemorates the market’s founder.

This year’s festival featured the re-creation of images of some of the nation’s heroes who have made significant contributions to the country’s construction and defence.  It also included various fairytale characters from old stories, which were played by local residents.

Here are some photos, taken by our reporter Van No, which reflect the exciting re-creation of these characters.
