Dinh Co Festival 2026

The Dinh Co Festival 2026 will take place from March 27th to 30th, 2026, in Long Hai commune (Ho Chi Minh City). The Dinh Co Festival 2026, scheduled to be held in Long Hai commune, is not merely a folk religious event but is also expected to be a significant catalyst for the strong development of local tourism . With a rich history dating back to the late 18th century, this year's festival takes on a new stature after being officially inscribed on the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The increased scale of the event, from March 27th to 30th, 2026, demonstrates the systematic strategy of the Long Hai commune government in realizing the goal of linking heritage preservation with economic development. From a market perspective, large festivals like Dinh Co are "magnets" attracting domestic and international tourists, generating direct revenue for service, accommodation, and transportation industries in the area.

This year's program structure reflects a diverse investment, combining traditional and modern elements to optimize the customer experience. Besides the traditional rituals of carrying the Dragon Throne or welcoming the Water Goddess, deeply rooted in the fishermen's identity, the organizers have incorporated water sports activities such as jet ski racing, artistic kite flying, and theatrical performances. The appearance of artists from Ho Chi Minh City in performances from 7 PM to 10 PM promises to extend the length of stay and increase spending by local tourists.

Notably, holding the event on weekends (Friday to Sunday) is a sound economic decision, maximizing the number of visitors from surrounding areas. This marks an important milestone for Long Hai to solidify its position on the spiritual tourism map and lay the groundwork for future tourism infrastructure investment projects.

With thorough preparation and close coordination among relevant agencies, the Dinh Co Festival 2026 will not only be about praying for calm seas but also a testament to the vitality of a national-level historical site in contributing to the sustainable economic growth of the locality.
