Vietnam’s great festivals follow the lunar calendar — Tết and its homecomings, the Mid-Autumn night given over to children, pilgrimages to the temples of the Hùng Kings, and the village battles of Saint Gióng outside Hanoi.

Vietnam’s traditional festivals are reckoned by the lunar calendar at Vietnamese time, one hour behind China, so they usually — but not always — fall on the same days as their Chinese counterparts. Tết, the Lunar New Year, is the most important celebration of the year, and the Mid-Autumn festival the second.
Two of the festivals in this atlas are inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity: the Gióng Festival of Phù Đổng and Sóc temples in 2010, and the worship of the Hùng Kings in Phú Thọ in 2012.
Tết Trung Thu
In Vietnam the Mid-Autumn full moon belongs to children — lantern processions after dark, star lanterns and masks, lion dances going from house to house, and tables of cakes, fruit and rice-dough figurines.

Tết Nguyên Đán
The Vietnamese Lunar New Year is the most important celebration in Vietnam — a time to go home, tend ancestors’ graves, fill the house with peach or yellow ochna blossom, wrap sticky rice cakes, and take care over who crosses the threshold first.

Hội Gióng
Two villages on the edge of Hanoi re-enact the legend of Saint Gióng, the child who grew into a giant to drive out invaders — a battle fought with flag dances, drums and gongs against twenty-eight girl generals at Phù Đổng, and bamboo flowers carried up to the temple at Sóc.

Early in the third lunar month, millions of Vietnamese climb Nghĩa Lĩnh mountain in Phú Thọ to honour the Hùng Kings, legendary founders of the nation, with processions of palanquins, drums and gongs, offerings of rice cakes and Xoan singing.
