Local festivals tend to be associated with a specific location (temple or pagoda), and many originated in the Cham culture. A number of the festivals are connected to whale worship, and many are tied to Buddhism or find their roots in ancient Hindu (Cham) beliefs or local legend.

Foreign holidays are gaining popularity, including Valentine”s Day, and the January 1st New Year. The Muslim Cham celebrates Ramadan (written Ramadan). Christmas is the second-largest holiday celebrated in Phan Thiet (after Tet), with lots of lights, decorations, nativities, and elaborate pageants. The week of Christmas leading up to the week of Tet (more than a month) is a fun time in Phan Thiet, with cafes and restaurants open late, lots of holiday treats, and people out late with friends. Birthdays are typically celebrated in cafes with friends. It is a Vietnamese tradition for the one celebrating the birthday to pay all expenses and arrange the party themselves.

Tet (Lunar New Year Celebration)

In Western Countries like the USA, the "holiday season" is over after January 1. Not so in Vietnam. Here the holiday season is extended for another month or more as families prepare for Tet, the lunar new year. Contrary to popular misunderstanding, Tet is not a single-day affair. Traditionally an entire month-long festival is celebrated from the 15th day of the twelfth month to the 15th day of the first month, but the first 3 days of the new year are the most important. The first day of the new year falls on January 29 this year.
