First launched in 2000 and presented with support from France and various ASEAN countries, this biennial celebration of theatre, music, dance, circus art and puppetry is one of the biggest attractions in the cultural calendar. The 2002 festival included a range of work by visiting artists from countries such as France, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Korea and China as well as showcasing performances of the music and dance of the Huế court, traditional quan họ singing and water puppetry. The 2004 festival took the theme of 'Cultural World Heritages with Integration and Development' and featured special ASEAN Cultural Days as well as performances by arts groups from France, Russia, China and Argentina. Activities were held at the Huế Citadel, An Định Palace, Tịnh Tâm lake and on the banks of the Huong (Perfume) River. A special feature was the partial re-enactment of the annual royal sacrificial rites at the Nam Giao Esplanade.
