Festival to improve northwest ethnic groups’ solidarity
The Culture, Sports and Tourism Festival of ethnic groups in the northwest region will take place in HoaBinh province on November 16 -18.
The event will not only honour and promote the cultural identities of the region’s ethnic groups but also help strengthen the great national unity.
It will also offer a good opportunity for participating localities to exchange experience, thus raising their responsibilities in building and upholding the Vietnamese culture imbued with national identities.
A wide range of activities are scheduled for the event, including an incense offering at the statute of Uncle Ho, an arts programme, a photo exhibition, a rural market, folk games, and a fair featuring indigenous cultural and tourism products.
Cultural rituals practiced by the region’s ethnic groups as well as their traditional costumes will also be introduced to visitors.
The 11thfestival was held in Lai Chau province in 2009, seeing the participation of more than 600 artisans and people from the six localities.
