Nghia An Assembly Hall worships Quan Thanh De Quan (Quan Cong) – a character of the Three Kingdoms period with a loyal heart and heroic spirit. Every year, the Assembly Hall has two biggest festivals: Nguyen Tieu Festival and Quan Cong Festival on January 13 and June 24 of the lunar calendar. According to the concept, this is the birthday and sainthood day of Quan Cong, so they are the two most important worshiping ceremonies.

Mr. Tran Vu, Head of the Assembly Hall, said that in previous years, the ceremony was only held on a small scale, with no parade. For the past two years, street parades have taken place to preserve and develop traditional cultural festivals of the Chinese community in Saigon.
The activity is part of a series of events to celebrate the Nguyen Tieu Giap Thin Festival 2024. Nguyen Tieu Tet, also known as Thuong Nguyen Tet, held on the full moon day of January, is an occasion for people to pray for peace, relieve drought, and hope for a peaceful year.
