Hạn Khuống Festival

Han Khuong Festival is a cultural and traditional event of Thai ethnic group in Dien Bien.

Han Khuong Festival is usually organized after the harvest ends every November.

The festival takes place at the center of the village where young men and women set up a 1.5m stage. The stage is surrounded by fences and has only one entrance. It is the place on which men and women sing in pairs till midnight. They continue to do so next night, singing and chatting with one another.

The festival, however, has a deeper meaning; it is the chance for the bridge-to-be girls to find out more about her future husband before getting married. Thus, it is indubitably a parts of people’s youth, which leaves them with many unforgettable memories.
