Festivals and the best time to travel to Phu Quoc
Weather is one reason to choose a month, and the festival calendar is another. The dry season lines up with Vietnam's busy festival period.
Good to know

The Dinh Than Duong Dong Festival, on the 10th and 11th of the first lunar month, honours the island's guardian deities. The Thuy Long Thanh Mau Festival, on the 15th, is a ceremony for the sea goddess. The Dinh Ba Ong Lang Festival, on the 18th and 19th, celebrates local fishing traditions.
Practical tips
On April 30, the Phu Quoc Boat Racing Festival brings traditional races along the shore. The Dinh Cau Festival, on the 15th and 16th of the 10th lunar month, honours sea deities and is regarded locally as a key cultural event.
