The festival attracted 450 professional and amateur artists from 18 groups from across the province, as well as a large number of visitors from ethnic minority groups.

All art performances were in praise of the Communist Party of Vietnam, late President Ho Chi Minh and the fighting spirit of Vietnamese soldiers during the Dien Bien Phu campaign. They also highlighted the cultural identities of the northwestern region.

On the occasion, many other activities also took place, including a trade fair, a seminar on trade promotion, free medical checkups and cultural exchanges.
