One of my favourite festival is Vietnamese Tet. It's the most important celebration in Vietnamese culture. Tet is an occasion for pilgrims and family reunions. There are a lot of customs practiced during Tet such as visiting a person's house on the first day of the new year, ancestral worship, wishing New Year's greetings, giving lucky money to children and elderly people, and opening a shop. The traditional clothes in this day of the festival is ao dai. Ao Dai is a long shirt (or maybe dress) made from cotton and silk. This traditional dress was really popular in the 19th century. But sometimes, people just can wear a smart, trendy or a behavior outfit to go outside in Tet festival. 

Lim Festival is a big festival in Bac Ninh province, held on January 13 every year in Tien Du district. This is considered a long-standing cultural trait and characteristic for Kinh Bac region. Time of movement also does not diminish that tradition, to this day the Lim festival has overcome the cultural space of the region, becoming one of the spring stops of tourists everywhere.
