Cham communities observe the 2026 Kate festival on October 9–11, with temple rituals and village cultural activities, according to Bao Van Hoa. The occasion also features discussion and presentation of Bau Truc pottery and the safeguarding of artisans’ knowledge. The report highlights livelihoods, access to clay and transmission of skills to younger generations. Seeking transfer of Cham pottery heritage to UNESCO’s Representative List remains a future objective, rather than a newly completed designation.
