Before that, many festival activities took place such as organizing a traditional boat race, opening the Commune Sports Festival and launching the Olympic running day, and performing arts activities.
The place name Dien Quang was formed in the late 14th century. The ancestors were families originally from Nghe An and Thanh Hoa who came to open up and establish a career.
Since the beginning, the ancestors of the clans have united, fought against natural disasters and enemies to protect the village, establish hamlets, and preserve family traditions. For many generations, generations of Dien Quang people have stood side by side to preserve and build a rich and beautiful homeland.
