Running from March to the end of December 2026, the program is chaired by the Gia Lai Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in coordination with localities throughout the province. Participating in the program are delegations of artisans from the Ba Na, Jrai, Cham Hroi, H'rê ethnic groups, and others from various localities in the province.
The program includes activities such as introducing the traditional culture of each unit; performances of gongs, traditional musical instruments, folk songs, and folk dances; and recreating traditional cultural living spaces. The program contributes to the preservation and promotion of the intangible cultural heritage of the Gong Culture Space.
At the gong performance held on the evening of May 23rd, the Jrai artisan team from Cho Ma village (Ia Pa commune), consisting of 40 members, presented spectacular gong and Xoang dance performances with many gong pieces and dances rich in ethnic identity. A large crowd of locals and tourists gathered to watch and immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the performance.
Locals and tourists enthusiastically interacted with the artisans, enjoyed rice wine, cheered on the performances, and immersed themselves in the unique Xoang dances. The intimate and vibrant atmosphere, along with the captivating performances, created a connection between the artisans and the people and tourists, contributing to the spread of the gong culture in the heart of Pleiku.
