The Dong Ky festival takes place on the 4th day of the lunar year to pray for good weather and good crops as well as to encourage patriotism.
Dong Ky village belongs to Tu Son district, Bac Ninh province, around 20km from Hanoi. In the past, it was very famous for making firecrackers. Since the government ban, villagers no longer produce firecrackers, but instead wood products. The firecracker procession, however, is still the most special and important ritual of the village festival.
