The Ok Om Bok Festival, also known as the Moon Worshipping Ceremony, is a traditional festival of the Khmer people. It is held on the full moon night of the tenth lunar month at pagodas, in households, or in open spaces, to express gratitude to the Moon God who, according to Khmer belief, protects crops, ensures favourable weather, and brings fruitfulness and prosperity to villagers.

A festival is taking place in the southern province of Kien Giang to honour the vibrant traditional culture and custom of local Khmer ethnic people.

The ethnic Khmer people in the Mekong Delta will celebrate Ooc-om-bok Festival, one of their most important traditional festivals, on November 25-26.
