Events & Festivals
Pchum Ben
Cambodia's Festival of the Dead is a 15-day Buddhist celebration in September and October when Cambodians visit pagodas at dawn to offer food to the spirits of deceased ancestors. Believed to be when the gates of hell open, Pchum Ben is a deeply solemn and important occasion for honoring family lineage across seven generations.
Water Festival Bon Om Touk
Cambodia's Water Festival celebrates the reversal of the Tonle Sap River with three nights of spectacular boat races on the Mekong River in Phnom Penh, watched by over a million spectators. The November festival marks the end of the rainy season and features illuminated boat processions, fireworks, and massive riverside crowds.
