Banteay Meanchey Temple Festival

Banteay Chhmar temple in Banteay Meanchey province sees its biggest crowds during Khmer New Year, when provincial authorities host celebrations at the twelfth-century Angkorian ruins, but no separately named, fixed-date Banteay Meanchey temple festival distinct from Cambodia's general holiday calendar was confirmed in research. The site itself is a major, well-documented heritage destination, with games, music, and community-based tourism activities layered onto national holidays rather than a standalone event.

Banteay Chhmar draws its crowds mostly around Khmer New Year, when provincial authorities in Banteay Meanchey organize celebrations at the temple rather than at any single fixed festival built specifically around the ruins themselves.
