We regularly perform traditional art forms such as Then singing, Tinh lute and other folk songs and dances.

Not only in Luong Van Tri ward, the VNQC movement is spreading strongly in communes and wards in the province. Currently, over 90% of the blocks and villages in the province have VNQC clubs operating in various forms: singing, dancing, music, folk singing... regularly. On average, each club, group, and team has from 15 to 30 members. Many VNQC clubs and teams operate actively and effectively, serving the political , cultural, and tourism tasks of the locality.

Ms. Ha Thi Lu, Director of the Provincial Cultural Center, said: Currently, the center has about 50 affiliated clubs and VNQC groups. Every year, the center organizes from 10 to 20 training courses for members of the cultural and artistic clubs affiliated to the center and members of VNQC clubs at the grassroots level with contents such as: skills in staging music and dance programs; basic dance; composition and performance skills... In particular, to improve the quality of activities of the affiliated clubs, we regularly pay attention to and orient the content, ensuring two-way information connection between the club management board and the center's functional departments.

Notably, from the beginning of 2025 up to now, the Provincial Cultural Center has organized 10 VNQC clubs following the model of ethnic folk cultural activities in a number of communes in the province. Accordingly, before being established, the clubs were taught knowledge, practiced performing some types of folk cultural activities and were invested in costumes and tools for activities and performances with a total support cost of nearly 1 billion VND.
