Deputy Director of the Tan Lac District Culture - Sports Centre Nguyen Thanh Tra said that the Culture - Sports office under the centre has devised communications plans ahead of the 2018 Lunar New Year (Tet) in accordance with instructions issued by the local People’s Committee.

Preparations for those activities were carried out before, during and after Tet.

Especially, an event was held at the communal house on the last day of the Year of the Rooster by the centre, featuring nearly 20 performances that were thoroughly set up. In addition, on the first days of the new lunar year, cultural - sports events and folk games were held in all localities of the district, attracting many local people and contributing to the preservation of traditional values.

Local artistic performances have been widespread in Tan Lac district. To date, all localities have their own art troupes and clubs. Most of the teams have between 15-25 members who share the same interest for singing, dancing and folk culture. During festivals, local people are immersed in practice and performances, regardless of gender and age. The lively atmosphere could be found everywhere and people enthusiastically prepared for their parts. Visitors could be lost in melodies which mingled with the unique sound of this place’s mountains and forests.

The performances also disseminated policies and regulations of the Party and the State through contents of songs and plays. Whether they are remade or original works, the performances are very alluring since they are voices from the local people’s hearts that extol the country and their work. Cultural activities have awaken the local people’s artistic abilities and made their life more diverse.
