Dinh Co Festival

Dinh Co is located on Long Hai beach, the southern province of Ba Ria - Vung Tau. According to a legend, a young girl who wanted to live a secluded life accidentally drowned in the sea and was buried on Co Son hill by local fishermen. They also built a temple on the beach in her honour.

Every year, Long Hai fishermen organize Dinh Co Festival on the 10^th, 11^th and 12^th of the 2^nd lunar month. Old fishermen, dressed in traditional trousers, are masters of the religious celebration. They pray for a good fishing year, productive crop, and peaceful life. The boats that are at sea during the celebration are lit with bright colours.

Thousands of tourists come and enjoy the great festivities and at the same time pray for a peaceful life.
