The Chol Chnam Thmay Festival, which begins after the first harvest of the year, fell on April 13-15.

The celebration featured many cultural programmes, including traditional dance and music performances.

This year’s festival has become more excited since the local Khmer people enjoyed a bumper harvest, according to Lam Ren, Head of the provincial Department for Ethnic Groups.

The provincial authorities also visited and presented gifts worth more than VND1.5 billion to the local Khmer people on this occasion.

In the Mekong Delta province of An Giang, nearly 90,000 Khmer ethnic people welcomed this year’s Chol Chnam Thmay Festival in happiness after gathering an abundant crop.
