About
King Norodom Sihamoni's birthday on May 14th is a public holiday celebrated across Cambodia with concerts, fireworks, and public gatherings, particularly at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh and major temples nationwide. The riverfront along Sisowath Quay in Phnom Penh hosts evening celebrations with traditional music and light displays, and local communities organise street festivals with Khmer music, traditional dance, and communal meals. The celebration reflects Cambodians' deep reverence for their constitutional monarchy.
