The bat cong palanquin procession is carried by 36 young and strong youths, going around the village. In the anniversary of the ancestor's death, people eat steamed glutinous rice, meat of pig's head dipped in salt and bean sprouts sour. The offerings on the anniversary of the death of ancestor are prepared by the 3 families: Nguyen, Tran, and Le which include steamed glutinous rice, gelded cocks, sweet short cake (banh khao - made of roast glutinous rice flour), green bean cake (banh dau).
