Sakorn Nakon Festivals

Wax Castle Procession is held in Amphoe Muang at the end of the Buddhist Lent for 3 nights around the middle of October. The second night features a beautiful procession, an ancient boxing dance (a folk play indigenous of Sakon Nakhon) and boat races. Visitors to the festival can continue on to the Illuminated Boats Procession in Nakhon Phanom that is held immediately after.
