Notably, the traditional Cau Ngu festival is observed under the belief that whales rescue people in danger at sea, whilst they also represent a symbol of great fortune that can bring local fishermen a bumper fishing season and peaceful fishing journeys. With the above typical value, the Cau Ngu festival was inserted into the National intangible heritage List in 2019.
After nearly 15 years after the first organization of the Cau Ngu festival, this year’s festival is held at a city level with many more special activities and imposing scales. According to the local authorities, Worshipping rituals will take place from August 6 to 8 with a procession of Ong Sanh Order from Hon Lao to Con Cha and then to Duc Thanh Bridge and along Ca Ty River, and a lantern floating ceremony at Ca Ty river.
