Hello Nguyen 😊

Which is the most important traditional festival to most people in Vietnam? What do people do and eat during it?

We have our most important one here in the West comming up soon. Christmas.

Hi,

In Vietnam the festivals and events are calendared in Lunar month. Normally, a lunar month stay later than western month of around 30 days.
Vietnamese Tet (Tet Nguyen Dan) take place on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month of the previous year to the 3rd day of the first lunar month of the new year.

Best regards,
