The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism posted on 16 October 2026 that Hưng Yên is holding the autumn Keo Pagoda festival from 19 to 24 October 2026, the 10th day through the end of the 15th of the ninth lunar month in the year Bính Ngọ. The site in that notice is the Keo Pagoda special national monument in Vũ Tiên commune, Hưng Yên. The scale is provincial. The only clock printed is the opening, on the evening of 19 October, from 19:30 to 21:30: incense from 19:30 to 20:00, then the opening program from 20:10 to 21:30. That evening has passed. The notice does not print a start or a finish for 24 October.
The rites are named without a day beside each one: lễ khai chỉ, the procession of Đức Thánh, múa rối chầu Thánh, múa trải cạn, múa ếch vồ, Đêm hội hoa đăng, thực hành tín ngưỡng thờ Mẫu Tam phủ của người Việt, and the offering rites of delegations, residents, and Buddhist followers. The festival side lists du thuyền hát hội, exchanges among chèo clubs, the têm trầu cánh phượng contest, a photography and mỹ thuật display of the pagoda, Chinese chess, and the expanded Hưng Yên lion-and-dragon contest for 2026. A ticket is not in the notice. Check on arrival for today’s hour and for a fee. A page of Vũ Tiên commune dated 29 October 2025 names this monument Thần Quang Tự and places it in Vũ Tiên, Hưng Yên, formerly Duy Nhất commune, Vũ Thư district, Thái Bình. The same page prints an autumn festival for 30 October to 4 November 2025, and one line on it prints an opening at 08:30 on 30 October 2024. Those dates are not this week’s plan. The photograph is the wooden bell tower of Keo Pagoda. Wikimedia Commons files it under Thần Quang pagoda at Võ Thư, the older spelling of that district.
