This year's Vietnamese Ethnic Culture Festival in Nghia Dan was held with many activities such as stick pushing, crossbow shooting, shuttlecock throwing, athletics and tug of war, attracting nearly 300 athletes from villages of Nghia Loi commune including: Lung Thuong, Lung Ha, Tan Cay, Tan Thai, Ngoc Lam, Hung Thinh and Thai Thinh.
In addition, local products such as Thai brocade, Thai labor tools, honey, gai cake... displayed at the festival attracted a lot of attention from the people.
In particular, at the festival, there is a rice tray competition between villages. Accordingly, each village organizes the purchase, selection of raw materials, and preparation of dishes. In addition to everyday dishes, specialties imbued with the identity of the Thai and Tho ethnic groups such as five-color sticky rice, gai cake, ot soup, grilled stream fish, bamboo rice, bitter bamboo shoots, sour meat, etc. are prepared and decorated elaborately and beautifully by the teams, bringing an unforgettable experience to those who enjoy them.
The Ethnic Culture Festival is also an opportunity to introduce and honor the fine traditional cultural values of the ethnic communities in the area, for artisans, actors, and athletes to meet, exchange and share experiences; preserve, conserve and promote the fine values of the ethnic groups in Nghia Dan district, contributing to the building and development of an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity.
