There will be the reenactments of traditional ceremonies and unique cultural heritage performances, including the Cham ethnic group’s New Year tower opening ritual from Ninh Thuan province; the new rice celebration of the Raglai ethnic group from Ninh Thuan; the Muong ethnic group’s Khai Ha Festival and a presentation of the Bamboo Calendar, a national intangible cultural heritage, from Hoa Binh province.

The event will also include an array of engaging activities such as tree-planting, traditional Tet cuisine showcases, folk singing and dancing, and interactive folk games.
