The harmonious combination of folk melodies and traditional dances with modern items has created a strong spread and demonstrated the spirit of solidarity, creativity, and pride of the people in the neighborhood.

The success of ethnic cultural festivals and traditional festivals organized in localities throughout the province has clearly demonstrated the strong development of the grassroots cultural movement. Right in villages, hamlets, clubs, and mass performance teams, the cultural - sports movement is maintained and developed, contributing significantly to preserving and promoting traditional cultural values; creating an important foundation for sustainable tourism and socio-economic development.

To achieve those results, there was the drastic involvement of Party committees and authorities, close coordination between departments, boards, sectors, unions, and the consensus and active response of the community and social organizations. Many cultural guidelines and policies were issued and deployed suitably to the reality of each locality and each ethnic minority area, thereby arousing the subject role of the people in preserving, practicing, and creating culture.

The activity belongs to the national target program for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in 2025.

After 5 days, trainees who are artistic nuclei, individuals with aptitude, and reputable people in villages and residential groups were equipped with important knowledge and skills on building and organizing cultural and artistic exchange programs serving political tasks and community tourism development.
