Cow racing in Mekong Delta Vietnam

Every year during the rain season in Mekong Delta Vietnam normally around September to October there are a festival of cow racing of the Khmer people living in Vietnam

Before agriculture in Vietnam rely on the strength of Cow or Buffalos in the rice field, and now there are too many machines on the field so the role of Cow or Buffalos is reduce too much but it still a traditional culture of local people especially cow racing in Mekong Delta

There are do not have exact date for this festival and we just noticed few weeks before the event to prepare photo tour to shoot Cow racing

It is 6 hours to get An Giang from Ho Chi Minh city by car, so we need to be there one day before the event. Normally the event start from 8 to 11 AM for province final and some qualified rounds of district final

Now is September and this year is hard to celebrate this event due to Covid pandemic. Hope everything is getting well soon and we can go photography tour for cow racing in Mekong Delta as usual
