The festival is not only a cultural event but more importantly, it is also an opportunity for cultural subjects, artisans, actors, and mass athletes of the Ma, K'Ho, and M'Nong ethnic groups in Lam Dong to exchange experiences, introduce cultural beauty, and spread pride and sense of responsibility in preserving and promoting traditional cultural values in the period of national integration and development. From there, cultural achievements built over many generations are continued, nurtured, and increasingly deepened and enriched.
The festival is also a testament to the spirit of great solidarity, indomitable will, and aspiration to rise of the ethnic groups, creating a premise and solid foundation for the ethnic people to turn cultural values into endogenous strength, constantly striving further in the new era - the era of rising of the Vietnamese people.
