In the past, the Royal Court classified Cuong Temple Festival as a national festival in Vietnam. The festival was held by Cao Xa commune which included four villages of Cao Ai, Cao Quan, Tap Phuc and Yen Phu.

The Cuong Temple festival was held from the first of the second lunar month to the end of spring. The main ceremonies were held on the 14 and 15th day of the second lunar month. In the afternoon of the 14th day an announcing ceremony was held at the temple. On the 15th day, a magic sedan procession was held in honor of King Thuc from Cuong Temple to the Cao Ai village communal house so that the King could enjoy the festival, receive the offerings and bless the people. After that the procession headed back to the temple. The people in Cao Xa commune also carried their village tutelary gods to Cuong Temple to let them attend the festival.
