Luang Prabang authorities have arranged an extensive programme of activities for the Lao New Year (Pi Mai Lao) festival, with events to take place over 10 days from April 11-20.

The festival will be celebrated on a much larger scale this year after activities were scaled down or cancelled in the past three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The official Lao New Year holiday normally runs from April 14-16, but events in Luang Prabang province will overrun this timeframe, the Director of the provincial Information, Culture and Tourism Department, Dr. Soudaphone Khomthavong, told the Vientiane Times.
