The event marks an important milestone following the July 2025 UNESCO World Cultural Heritage inscription of the Yen Tu – Vinh Nghiem – Con Son, Kiep Bac Complex of Monuments and Landscapes.
At a press conference on Monday, the organising board said the festival will be much larger than before, spreading across Vang Danh, Yen Tu, Thuong Yen Cong, Phuong Dong, and Bac Son wards.
The highlight will be an evening music show on February 26, broadcast live on Quang Ninh newspaper and radio-television, with modern lighting and sound to bring the story and spirit of Buddha King Tran Nhan Tong to life.
The event also features displays of the Tran Dynasty antiquities and rare Truc Lam Buddhism documents, along with a major OCOP and culinary fair boasting over 100 booths offering handicrafts, bronze and wooden ritual items, and local specialities. Visitors can also play folk games and watch dragon and lion dances, and martial arts performances.
