Introduction
The festival is held to commemorate An Sinh Vương Trần Liễu, the tutelary god of Lai Xá village, Hoài Đức commune, Hà Nội city.
The festival dates back to the 13th century; during the wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists, it could not be held. Until 1990, the festival was restored, and since then it has been maintained annually.
The festival takes place over 4 days: from the 15th to the 18th day of the lunar calendar every year.
The main festival is held on a large scale every 5 years, with palanquin procession and folk games.
The regular festival: held annually with only rituals at the communal house, without palanquin procession.
