On this occasion, a seminar on cultural tourism in the Northeast, an exhibition on the culture of the Northeast Ethnic Groups, and a photo exhibition on preserving and promoting ethnic cultural identity in the northeastern region, were held.

In addition, traditional ceremonies and rituals, folk music and dance, and local handicrafts of the northeast ethnic groups have been introduced to the festivalgoers.

Exciting sporting events and folk games, such as tug-of-war, ‘con’ (cloth ball) throwing and stilt walking, were held.

The festival is among the ministry’s efforts to realise the Party and State’s policy on preserving and promoting the unique cultural heritages of ethnic groups, including those in the Northeast region while contributing to promoting the image of the land and people of Vietnam to visitors at home and abroad./.
