Lung Kenh Village Festival

The festival is held to commemorate the merits of General Trinh Cong Hieu, who helped King Hung Ve Vuong of the 18th generation repel the Thuc invaders. According to the ngoc pha (genealogical records) kept at Lung Kenh Village Communal House, which records about Duc Thanh Trinh Do Ho Dai Vuong, compiled by Nguyen Binh, Grand Scholar of Dong Cac of the Hanlin Academy of the Ministry of Rites, by order of King Le Anh Tong in 1572 (the first year of the Hong Phuc era), and recopied by Nguyen Hien, the official in charge of sacrifices to the gods, from the original in 1739 (the fifth year of the Vinh Huu era under King Le Y Tong). The festival takes place on the 14th and 15th days of the first lunar month every year, the birthday of the village's Duc Hoang. Today, the main festival is held only once every five years. The customary festival is held annually on the 14th day of the first lunar month but without a palanquin procession.
