In Tuy Phong coastal area, Binh Thuan province, on the 15th day of the 7th lunar month or Thanh Minh day, the Cau Ngu Festival takes place at sea. Dozens of fishing boats, sampans, and baskets are solemnly decorated with flags and banners to carry the singing troupes to the sea to hold a praying ceremony at sea, for fishermen to have smooth sailing... and go out to sea to catch fish with the boat loaded with a full hold. Pray for fishermen to have peace in life.

The Cau Ngu Festival is a cultural and religious activity closely associated with coastal communities. The Cau Ngu Festival is considered the most important festival of the year, praying for national peace, people's safety, calm seas, and good harvests for fishermen. With its deeply humanistic meanings, the Cau Ngu Festival plays an important role in consolidating the community; preserving and transmitting the fine traditional cultural values of the homeland and country.
