Festivals I want to attend:

Wat Phou Festival in the Champasack Province:

Wat Phou festival is annually held in the full moon of the 3rd month of lunar calendar, on the grounds of the enchanting pre-Angkorian Wat Phou remains in Champasack. This event falls on February 7 and festivities include elephants racing, buffaloes fighting, cocks fighting and performances of Lao traditional music and dance. It will be really astonishing to see this festival in Laos especially since it’s nothing like anything I have experienced before in my life!

The popularity of the Wat Phou Festival

The Elephant Festival and Trade Fair:

The Elephant Festival and Trade Fairs in the Sayabouly Province is on February

17. The event features about 60 brightly adorned elephants competing for "Elephant of the Year", along with elephant processions and bathing, mahout demonstrations, traditional Buddhist blessings, fun fairs, night markets, and live performances. As mentioned previously, Laos was known as the land of a million elephants, and since it has so much history with Laos it will be awesome to embrace something that made Laos what it is today!
