The Bay Nui bull racing festival is a festival of the Khmer ethnic group in the South. It has a strong folk cultural identity, including the traditional bull racing festival, a unique cultural activity and sport in the Bay Nui region, An Giang.
Until now, no one remembers exactly when the bull racing started. In the past, it was called "going to the bull's camp" and later it was called "racing". That was the time when Khmer farmers in the South finished harvesting rice, so they invited each other to bring their bulls to the large yards in Khmer pagodas to harrow the land to pray for a good rice crop next year. Then, from the bull's camp, they organized races. The winning pairs of bulls were given prizes by the monks, sometimes including a yoke, a harrow, a reining rope, a bell ring, etc.
In reality, the Bay Nui Bull Racing Festival is a popular sport and entertainment playground for farmers after hours of hard work in the fields...
