The HanoiMoi online newspaper also reports many music, dance, food, wine, sports and cultural events are planned during the festival as well as a bevy of photo and flower exhibitions and contests.

The festival takes its name from the Tam Giac Mach (or triangle oat), a tiny wild flower with triangular-shaped pink blooms that grows from crushed rice after the harvest season each year.

In October, the terraced rice fields are covered with the wild and endless beauty of the sight and scent of the Tam Giac Mach flowers, which attract tens of thousands of visitors from throughout Vietnam annually.
