Chu Dong Tu - Tien Dung festival is one of the great festivals of the country, a picture of the rich, lively spiritual life and profound cultural values of the ancient Vietnamese in the exploration of the swamp, alluvium along the Red River from thousands of years ago. This is not only a place to transmit and spread the legend of a beautiful and sacred love between a poor man Chu Dong Tu and Princess Tien Dung (daughter of the 18th Hung King) but also a place to educate the tradition of filial piety, humanity and compassion for future generations. The festival also expresses the people's aspiration to pray for favorable rain and good wind for favorable plantation, peaceful, prosperous and happy villages.

The festival takes place in 3 days, from March 1 to March 3 (ie from February 10 to 12 of the lunar calendar).
