The Grand Ho Tram Strip in collaboration with Ba Ria-Vung Tau Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism will host the first Ho Tram Kite Festival above the Ho Tram sea’s spectacular coastline from 10am to 5pm on 1 and 2 January 2016.
The skies of Ho Tram are set to light up as 10 groups of professional Vietnamese kite artisans launching more than 150 unique and colorful kites from the Ho Tram Strip’s 2.2 kilometer beach.
“It’s hard to think of a more spectacular stage for these aerial dancers to grace than the East Sea at the Ho Tram Strip. We cannot wait to host this event, and look forward to showcasing this little slice of Vietnamese culture with guests from near and far,” said Michael Kelly, Executive Chairman of Ho Tram Strip.
Kites are a familiar site in Vietnamese skies, with spare plots of land around the nation frequently playing host to legions of young Vietnamese aerialists, keen to find the precise point where the wind meets the sails for their craft. Kite Festivals elevate this art and are often large scale events around the region.
This will be the first time the Ho Tram Strip has played host to a fun and challenging spectator sport which can be enjoyed by all ages. Of particular interest is the ‘Rokkaku kite battle’ which will bring more energy and excitement to the event as flyers try to knock their opponents’ kites out of the sky.
“My relationship with kites began in my childhood, just like a lot of kids in Viet Nam. It was a passion that reignited when my own kids came along, and I showed them how to build and fly their own kites. The more I study and work in them, the deeper my passion for them becomes. I know no better way to unwind from the stresses of daily life than to take my kite to the sky,” said Mr. Nguyen Nam Hue, Head of Kite Club from Ba Ria Vung Tau. “It’s a part of our culture that we need to save and preserve for the next generations. I am proud to say that my own 10 year old son will be the youngest artisan to take his wares to the clouds in Ho Tram soon”
Ho Tram Strip has hosted a range of activities in the last two years as sporting, music events. Meanwhile the property has unveiled a host of new leisure offerings including a sports bar, a new jewelry store and multibrand boutique. A new BBQ restaurant is coming soon as well as a mini golf course, waterslide and a wide array of water sports on its beach.
While in the festive spirit, a series of other activities will also be offered between 31 December and 2 January, including poolside games for kids, carnival girls and stilt walkers in holiday costumes, a street magic crew as well as balloon artists for kids. No entrance fees are applied.
Furthermore, the Grand will offer appealing room promotions with VND3,600,000++/night, including buffet breakfast for two and offering a third night free with a two night booking.
