Bon Om Touk 2026 is the Water Festival of November 23, 24 and 25, 2026.[1] Over its three days, crews race long boats, illuminated boats parade on the water and, on the last night, families float small candlelit boats with offerings for the full moon in Sampeah Preah Khae, the salute to the moon.[2]

In a circular dated June 25, 2026, the government canceled the year's celebrations on the river in front of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, as it had in 2025. The provinces may hold festivities by local tradition and as each is able, and the three-day public holiday stays in place. The government cited the border situation, support for displaced people and other national priorities.[1]
