At the opening ceremony, artists performed traditional Khmer dances, held the Bay Nui cow race and Sen-Donta rituals, and introduced traditional Chabay musical instruments.

A wide range of activities are scheduled during the four-day festival including folk games, such as tug of war, stick pushing and boat racing, and a fashion show featuring the traditional costumes of Vietnam's 54 ethnic minority groups.

Khmer ethnic minority people are developing well, and have gained significant achievements in building new hamlets.
