The Full Moon Festival of the First Lunar Month

Takes Place Vibrantly in Many Places in Bình Dương,


with Free Services as a Traditional Highlight
The Full Moon Festival of the first lunar month in Bình Dương is not only a spiritual event but also an opportunity for the
community to come together and spread positive values. From free charitable activities to efforts in maintaining environmental
cleanliness and urban order, the festival has increasingly become a symbol of Bình Dương’s hospitality and generosity.

On February 12, the Full Moon Festival of the first lunar month took place at various temples and shrines in Bình
Dương, with the most prominent event being the palanquin procession at Thiên Hậu Temple (commonly known as
Bà Temple) in the center of Thủ Dầu Một City.
Tens of thousands of visitors have flocked to Thiên Hậu Temple in Bình Dương over the past few days. This is
one of the largest free Full Moon Festivals in the Southeastern region of Vietnam. On the afternoon of the same day,
several roads in the “Ngã Sáu Thủ Dầu Một” area were temporarily closed to cars to prevent congestion during the
palanquin procession. Thousands of people gathered along the main streets, eagerly waiting for the procession.
Thu Dau Mot city’s authorities ensured public security and regulated traffic to provide a smooth and safe experience
for festival-goers.
Along Yersin Street leading to Thiên Hậu Temple in Phú Cường Ward, dozens of stations offered free services
to visitors, including drinking water, bánh mì (Vietnamese baguettes), wet tissues, and various vegetarian dishes.
Charitable activities saw participation from a diverse range of organizations, including the Youth Union and the
Women's Union. Many local residents along the streets also voluntarily distributed free food and drinks to visitors.
The “free festival” has become a cherished tradition and a source of pride for the people of Bình Dương.
Mr. Trần Vĩnh An, Vice Chairman of the Thiên Hậu Temple Management Board, stated that the number of visitors
during the early days of the festival had decreased compared to previous years, reaching over 100,000 attendees—
about one-third of the figure from last year. However, visitor numbers were expected to rise significantly on the
peak days of the 14th and 15th of the first lunar month.
Fire prevention and safety measures were given special attention. The temple’s management board frequently
collaborated with local authorities to conduct fire prevention awareness campaigns, organize fire drill exercises, and
perform regular inspections of onsite firefighting equipment.
