Khon Kaen Silk Festival 2025
The 2025 Khon Kaen Silk Festival will take place from Friday, November 28 to Wednesday, December 10, 2025.
This vibrant annual event, officially known as the International Silk Festival, Phuk Siao Tradition & Red Cross Fair, is one of Khon Kaen’s most celebrated cultural showcases. Held in the heart of the city, it honors the region’s rich silk-weaving heritage—especially the intricate mut mee tie-dye technique that gives Khon Kaen silk its distinctive patterns and natural hues.
🎉 Festival Highlights Include:
• Colorful street parades featuring traditional Isaan music and dance
• Silk exhibitions and live demonstrations of weaving techniques
• Phuk Siao ceremonies, symbolizing friendship and community bonding
• Local food stalls, cultural performances, and handicraft markets
The festival is a fantastic opportunity to experience the warmth of Isaan culture, support local artisans, and enjoy the festive spirit that fills the city during this time.
The main festivities of the Khon Kaen Silk Festival 2025 will be held in central Khon Kaen, especially around Bueng Kaen Nakhon and the city’s downtown area.
This includes key venues such as:
• 🏞️ Bueng Kaen Nakhon Park – A scenic lakeside area that hosts many of the cultural performances, exhibitions, and food stalls. It’s a central hub for both daytime and evening events.
• 🏛️ Khon Kaen City Hall and nearby streets – These areas often feature the grand opening parade, Phuk Siao ceremonies, and silk showcases.
• 🛍️ Khon Kaen Exhibition Center and local markets – These host silk vendors, weaving demonstrations, and regional crafts.
The festival transforms the city into a vibrant celebration of Isaan identity, with music, dance, and silk artistry spilling into public spaces. Expect road closures and lively crowds, especially during the parade days and evening performances.
