First launched five years ago in the port city of Sihanoukville to mark Cambodia’s membership into the 1,000 Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club, the Sea Festival marks a culturally significant mass movement in the national calendar traditionally reserved for special annual celebratory events embedded in the Kingdom’s way of life.

 

The festival in all its grandeur and appeal returns to the place of its birth this weekend, for the first time at the famous Independence Beach from the previous venue of Ochhuteal Beach, for the three-day festival to be held on December 23, 24 and 25.

 

The heady mixture of culture, cuisine and sporting gala is expected to draw unprecedented crowds, estimated to be between 100,000 to a quarter of a million people from all over the country.
