Giang Xa Village Festival

Giang Xa Communal House is a place of worship for the Tutelary God Ly Nam De (also known as Ly Bi or Ly Bon). Inside Giang Xa Communal House, many relics and antiquities are still preserved, the earliest dating to the Le Trung Hung period (17th century). Through successive feudal dynasties, Giang Xa Communal House was bestowed 22 royal decrees, the first of which dates to 1620. Currently, these decrees are kept by the Giang Xa Village Police, and only the genealogy and an ancient stone stele recording the legend of the Tutelary God Ly Nam De remain in the communal house. The Giang Xa Village Festival is held over 3 days, from the 11th to the 13th day of the first lunar month every year. Every 5 years, Giang Xa holds a grand festival (large festival) with a procession of the palanquin. In other years, it holds a modest ceremony, and the locality organizes a procession of offerings and recitation.
