INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL VIENTIANE
The largest festival in Laos sees the nation devolve into a three (or more) day water fight. Families get together to make merit and visit temples to bring blessings for the coming year. The water throwing brings a nice respite to the intense summer heat! It is exceptionally fascinating to visit Luang Prabang during this time, as there are many more traditional pageants, parades, and customs unique to this festival.
The 5th iteration of Laos’ premier jazz event will take place at the Lao National Circus. Relax with the cool vibes of Lao and regional jazz performances. facebook.com/JAZZDAYLAOS Read more about the festival on page 22
