Hung Kings Commemoration Day 2025 - (April 7, 2025), taking place during the Hung Kings Festival 2025.
Every year, as soon as the vibrant spring season arrives in Vietnam and brings with it a blooming of colors across its landscapes, the nation readies itself to honor its founding fathers on the most revered day of the year — Hung Kings Commemoration Day. The holiday is set for April 7th this year, and while it does have its roots in history and tradition, it means much more than that to the Vietnamese people.
Hung Kings Commemoration Day 2025 is so much more than just another public holiday. A whole festival is organised - the Hung Kings Festival 205. The event turns into an international spectacle of cultural festivities and national pride celebrations that no one should miss out on. So if you’re a travel agent or industry professional who wants to offer your clients an immersive experience in Vietnamese traditions and culture, then make sure to take notes.
For all walks of life
The Hung Kings Temple, located in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam, is where people from all walks of life come together on this auspicious day to worship their ancestors. That’s right; anyone who considers themselves Vietnamese knows that their spirit lives on through their forefathers — who are believed to be the founders of Vietnam.
With hundreds of performances occurring throughout the ceremony’s duration across different stages scattered around town, there will be no shortage of opportunities for visitors like yourself or your clients to get up close and personal with some traditional Vietnamese music and dance groups. And after working up an appetite, dance along with them? Don’t worry! Food stalls serving authentic local dishes will line the streets too.
Tradition meets innovation
As tradition goes here in northern Vietnam, everyone must go through several ancestral worshipping ceremonies before ascending Mount Nghia Linh — where the Hung Kings Temple sits perched at its peak. These customs may date back thousands of years but still hold significance today. So, go on and partake in them if you dare to travel back in time!
Have your cameras ready once you reach the top, though, because the view is going to be beautiful. And remember to take lots of photos while wandering around town! The vibrant reds and yellows of street parades will certainly present some great photo opportunities for your client’s social media feeds — as will the swarm of dragon dancers during martial arts exhibitions.
Travel agents — book now!
Hung King Commemoration Day 2025 will give you a unique opportunity to not only learn more about Vietnamese culture yourself but also offer that knowledge as a bonus to your clientele. By promoting this event to travelers, you aren’t just booking them a trip; you’re opening up their eyes and hearts to the soul of Vietnam.
The universal themes of respect, unity, and strength derived from remembering one’s roots resonate well beyond Vietnam’s borders — making Hung Kings Commemoration Day a cultural beacon worldwide. And we invite all who are eager enough to explore our nation’s essence and values through the ages.
