The traditional Do Son buffalo fighting festival takes place on the 9th day of the 8th lunar month every year. According to the plan, this year's festival will take place on September 11. However, due to the impact of storm No. 3, Do Son district decided to postpone the final round to September 21 (ie August 19 of the lunar calendar).
The final round will take place at 7:30 a.m. on September 21 at the Do Son District Center Stadium. Preparations for the festival are now complete.
Previously, the Organizing Committee of the Do Son District Festival organized 3 rounds of inspection of buffaloes participating in the festival to evaluate the quality and safety of the fighting buffaloes according to the criteria in the festival organization regulations. Through inspection, basically the 16 buffaloes were similar in physical appearance, without much difference.
This year's festival still retains the same prize value as the 2023 festival. Accordingly, the buffalo owner with the champion buffalo will receive 100 million VND, 1 second prize worth 60 million VND and 2 third prizes each worth 30 million VND.
