A cultural program will be held in September at the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism in Hanoi to celebrate Vietnam’s 72nd National Day.
300 artists and students from 12 ethnic groups will take part in
the event.
The New Year market fair of the Dong Van Karst Plateau in Ha
Giang province will be re-created during the festival. Here visitors will taste
local dishes, enjoy folk music and games, and get acquainted with ethnic
minority culture.
Nguyen Thanh Son, an official of the National Village for Ethnic
Culture and Tourism, said, "We have organized festivals celebrating National
Day on September 2 for 4 consecutive years. The highlight is the mountain
market fair where ethnic people sell their specialties and engage in exchanges
to enhance unity.”
There will be a photo exhibition featuring the life of people on
the Dong Van Karst Plateau. A pair of pan-pipes,
7 meters tall, created by
Mong artisans who live in the Culture Village, will be on display.
A traditional boat race of Phu Tho province will be re-enacted,
demonstrating the martial spirit and resilience of Vietnamese people and
rekindling the spirit of "remembering the source of the water we drink”.
Nguyen Thanh Son said, "The festival intends to bring together
the people of the mountains and the people of the plains. The market fair of
the Dong Van Karst Plateau will include a Mong panpipe festival and Phu Tho
boat racing.”
The organizing board
will reenact a full-moon festival of the Dao ethnic people in Ba Vi district to
pay tribute to the deceased. Two historical documentary films – "Vietnam and Ho
Chi Minh” and "Motherland gives us all” – will be screened.

With an increasingly vibrant and widespread emulation movement aimed at building cultured residential areas and cultured families, Yen Thuy District has been making steady progress toward improving both the material and spiritual well-being of its people, while fostering a civilized, prosperous, beautiful, and progressive community.
Once lacking recreational spaces and community facilities, Residential Group 2 in Quynh Lam Ward (Hoa Binh City) has recently received attention for the construction of a new, spacious, and fully equipped cultural house. The project followed the model of state support combined with public contributions in both labor and funding.
The "All people unite to build cultural life" movement, which has been effectively integrated with Kim Boi district’s socio-economic development goals, is fostering a lively spirit of emulation across local residential areas, hamlets, villages, public agencies, and enterprises. In addition, through the initiative, traditional cultural values are being preserved and promoted, while community solidarity and mutual support in poverty reduction and economic development are being strengthened.
A working delegation of the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee led by its Permanent Vice Chairman Nguyen Van Toan on June 11 inspected the progress of a project to build the Mo Muong Cultural Heritage Conservation Space linked to tourism services in Hop Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Born and growing in the heroic land of Muong Dong, Dinh Thi Kieu Dung, a resident in Bo town of Kim Boi district, in her childhood was nurtured by the sweet lullabies of her grandmother and mother. These melodies deeply imprinted on her soul, becoming an inseparable part of her love for her ethnic group's culture. For over 20 years, this love for her hometown has driven Dung to research, collect, and pass down the cultural values of the Muong people to future generations.
In the final days of May, the Ethnic Art Troupe of Hoa Binh Province organized performances to serve the people in remote, mountainous, and particularly disadvantaged areas within the province. These were not just ordinary artistic shows, but they were the meaningful journeys aimed at spreading cultural values, enhancing the spiritual life of the people and contributing to the preservation of ethnic minority cultural identities.
