From 9 to 12 October 2026, Katê Festival will take place at the ancient Pô Sah Inư Cham towers. It is one of the most important traditional celebrations of Vietnam’s Brahmin Cham community and a chance to experience a living tradition at the temple complex where ceremonies have been held for generations.
The programme includes traditional religious rituals, Cham music and dance, folk games, craft and cuisine demonstrations, exhibitions of cultural heritage and national treasures, workshops on making traditional sweets and pottery, and a Cham script-writing competition. In 2026, the programme has been expanded to four days.
The main venues are Pô Sah Inư Towers in Phú Thủy Ward, Phan Thiet, and the Cham Cultural Exhibition Center in Bắc Bình, Lâm Đồng Province. No single festival admission price has been officially announced yet.
