Events in Cambodia

Cambodia is a country that has always been known for its rich culture and dynamic festivals. The thing about this place is that events mix ancient traditions with modern life. Most of these celebrations are associated with Buddhist holy days or important historical events.

The Khmer New Year, also called ‘Choul Chnam Thmey’ in the local language, is among the most expected occasions in Cambodia. It falls on April 13th or 14th and lasts for three days filled with parades of joy, traditional games and music played live around streets all over the country. Each year new lunar year is represented by one of twelve animals which feature heavily during these festivities along other symbols like flowers or lanterns.

We are constantly evaluating which events to feature. If there's an event you'd like to see included, please let us know at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

We add events on a continuous basis. So if you want to stay informed of the latest information, please bookmark this page.
