The event drew 14 teams from high schools, education facilities, training departments, and cultural clubs in Dien Bien Province.
Each team competed in two parts, requiring them to perform at least three folk Xoe dances as well as at least three Xoe dances which were arranged and choreographed by themselves.
The dances were accompanied by folk music and songs about Dien Bien Province.
As one of the main activities, the festival attracted thousands of visitors.
The Xoe Thai folk dance was added to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity by the United Nations' cultural agency UNESCO in 2021.
Xoe Thai Dance Festival is held to introduce the art to the wider community and call for preservation and promotion as a recognised heritage.
The festival was one of the activities to honour, preserve and promote this cultural value and unique beauty of the Thai's costumes, popularising the heritage that has been recognised./.
