The festival usually takes place in late spring when preparing for a new crop.

The celebrant will perform a ceremony asking the gods to allow the worshiping group to fetch water.

The worshiping group will go to the house of a certain family in the village to ask for water, and the celebrant must ask to open the gate before the homeowner will let the homeowner in to get water.

One by one, the young men brought bamboo pipes to ask for water from the homeowner.

On the way to bring water back, families in the village will splash water at the ceremony with the meaning of good luck for the whole year.

The event everyone looks forward to most during the "Bun Voc Nam" Festival is participating in the water splashing activity.
