Rites such as sacrifice ceremony, the God praizing ceremony and greeting the Fish God to the temple with “ba trao” chanty, a kind of traditional songs performed in such ritual Cau Ngu Festival, were held. Tuong, a Vietnamese classical drama art, was also performed to serve the local people.
This is a traditional festival with strongly distinguished nuance of the local fishers’ belief. It is held annually to pray for good weather, calm sea and good fishing harvest.
