Le Van Thinh Temple is famous among the people for the Thap Dinh festival. The tradition of the Thap Dinh festival is the festival of 10 villages worshiping Le Van Thinh, located around Thien Thai mountain and along the Duong River bank.
In the past, to organize the Thap Dinh festival, dignitaries of 10 villages from within the year had to meet to agree on the work of the festival.
Bao Thap village has a temple to worship Le Van Thinh, honored as "Dinh Ca", with the responsibility of organizing and worshiping rituals to welcome visitors.
Since 2014, the Thap Dinh festival has been held annually, but only a few villages organize processions, the rest are concentrated at Dinh Ca to worship (only in the main festival years processions of all 10 villages are held).
