The Dai water-splashing festival is associated with the Dai New Year, around mid-April.

A specific heritage reference#

The National Ethnic Affairs Commission describes temple activities, water-splashing blessings and boat racing in its account. This cultural description does not provide the exact current programme for each town.

Before attending#

Check the relevant locality’s dated announcement. Ask about designated visitor areas and follow the organizer’s instructions. An old festival description is not consent to splash every passer-by or a guarantee that a particular boat race is running.

Scope#

The planning questions are editorial suggestions. This introduction does not supply a current booking, visitor invitation or a schedule for every community.
