Le Mat village festival is annually held on the 20th day of the third lunar month to worship the village’s tutelary god of the Hoang Family.

The ancient village of Le Mat, located about 7km Northeast of downtown Hanoi, is famous for its tradition of catching snakes and making culinary dishes from them.

The highlight of the festivities is the snake dance, an original performance held in the yard of the communal house. Other activities during Le Mat Snake Festival include a water procession and flight against snake monster.
