Cambodia Water Festival

 The Cambodia Water Festival, known as "Bon Om Touk," is a traditional Cambodian celebration that usually takes place in November. It marks the reversal of the flow of the Tonle Sap River and is a major event featuring boat races, concerts, and vibrant festivities, especially in Phnom Penh. It's a time for locals to honor the country's maritime history and is one of Cambodia's most significant cultural events.

Due to Covid-19 spread as the worldwide, Cambodia was decided to cancel such as no boat racing as usual. Likewise, the most important that I identify this year is, Prime Minister Hun Sen has confirmed that this year.

The festival usually takes place in November and its dates are determined by the lunar calendar. Deeply rooted in Cambodian culture and history, the Water Festival gives people an opportunity to come together, celebrate their traditions and express gratitude for the abundance of the rivers and the land.
