This was also part of a series of cultural activities to mark the 2017 Dong Hoi Culture and Tourism Week, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to Quang Binh province.

Street festival

The event drew the participation of 500 artists in the locality. The street parade started from three streets of Hung Vuong, Quach Xuan Ky and Nguyen Du. After many special performances, the groups paraded across Nhat Le bridge and ended at the Bao Ninh Sea Square.

At the Bao Ninh Sea Square, “Cheo can, mua bong" art performance ("Cheo can" performance, "bong" (flower) dance) was taken place with the attendance of more than 200 artists of Bao Ninh commune.

This is a meaningful activity to honor traditional culture with distinct features of Dong Hoi fishermen in particular and Quang Binh people in general, in order to pray for calm sky and smooth sea, good weather and a bumper crop.
