From August 18–20 of each year, there is a festival held in Nam Định called the Cố Trạch. This celebration honors General Trần Hưng Đạo, a 13th-century national hero who led Vietnamese forces to victory over the invading Mongols.

De la Paz was canonized by Pope John Paul II on June 19, 1988 (Feast Day on 24 November).
