Kate, one of the most significant Cham festivals, is held annually to commemorate their gods, heroes and ancestors.
The three-day festival will feature ritual offerings, a palanquin procession, folk songs and dances, as well as performances on Paranung drums and Saranai panpipes, two traditional Cham musical instruments.
A Trade, Tourism and Craft Villages Fair opened today as part of the festival. Nearly 300 booths at the fair display products from local enterprises and traditional craft villages as well as other specialties of the province. The week-long event will also include seminars on business and trade promotion with the aim of attracting more enterprises, investors and visitors to the locality.
