In the solemn atmosphere of the festival, the Xo Dang people respectfully offer items such as pigs, chickens, and rice wine... This is an opportunity for the people to express their gratitude to the mountain god for giving the villagers a prosperous life, bountiful crops, and few diseases.

According to the customs of the Xo Dang people, the mountain god worship ceremony usually takes place at the end of the year so that the god can bless the villagers with a prosperous life in the new year. And the mountain god will transfer to other gods such as the water god at the beginning of the year to continue blessing the villagers according to their wishes.

Also on this occasion, Tra Nam commune organized folk games, culinary competitions, pole-raising... attracting a large number of people to participate.
