On February 27-28, at Dinh Ca Communal House, Dong Luong Commune, Cam Khe District, the Dong Luong Communal House Festival in the year of At Ty 2025 took place.

Procession to the communal house

The communal house of Dong Luong commune is called Dinh Ca. Legend has it that the communal house worships the village's tutelary god - General Le Huu Thuyen, who had the merit of driving out foreign invaders, keeping the people peaceful and the village prosperous. The communal house has been preserved by generations, organizing village parties and festivals, showing gratitude to those who have contributed to the people and the country. The communal house was conferred the title of communal house four times during the Later Le and Tay Son dynasties. After many historical events, the communal house was no longer intact. According to the wishes of the local people, in 2019 Dinh Ca was restored.

People of Dong Luong commune perform the sacrificial ceremony at the communal house.

The traditional festival of Dinh Ca is held according to traditional rituals with full ceremony and festival parts. After the procession and sacrificial ceremony, the festival part takes place with many cultural activities and art exchanges of residential areas...

The Dong Luong communal house festival aims to preserve and promote cultural and historical values, arouse the spirit of solidarity, strengthen the village relationship, and educate future generations about the national morality of “When drinking water, remember its source”. At the same time, it prays for the villagers to be peaceful, prosperous, the homeland to be prosperous, and the country to develop more and more prosperously.
