When do the early-year xuống đồng festivals usually take place?
According to the sources in the article, the timing is not uniform between localities. Lồng Tông Chiêm Hóa takes place on the 8th day of the first lunar month; Lồng Tồng Bạch Thông over two days, the 8th and 9th of the first lunar month; Lồng tồng ATK Định Hóa on the 9th and 10th of the first lunar month; Lồng tồng Ba Bể opens on the 10th of the first lunar month. The Lễ hội xuống đồng Roóng Poọc of the Giáy, by contrast, is held on the first Thìn day of the new year. This is a difference between localities, not a contradiction in substance.
