Taking place from March to December, the festival features a wide range of activities including the grand opening ceremony, to be held in July at the Hien Luong-Ben Hai special national relic site, a special art program, the “Bell Ringing for Peace Wishes” ritual, and a fireworks display.

On July 26, candle-lighting ceremonies will be held at martyrs’ cemeteries across the province and release lanterns on the Thach Han River.

With the theme “From memory to the future – Quang Tri for peace,” the festival contributes to educating young people about patriotism and spreading the message of peace to international friends.
