Sea Festival is Khanh Hoa’s signature cultural and tourism event, held biennially to showcase the province’s coastal identity and promote local tourism. As a national-scale festival, it brings together ministries, central agencies, localities nationwide, and international partners of Khanh Hoa. The first edition was held in 2003 to mark Nha Trang Bay’s recognition as one of the world’s most beautiful bays.
