The Lo Lo ethnic group is one of the smallest minority groups in Vietnam (under 10,000 people). In Bao Lam district, Cao Bang province, the Lo Lo people live in four hamlets: Ca Meng, Ca Pen A, Ca Pen B, and Ca Dong in Duc Hanh commune.
Join author Le Tan Thanh in experiencing the festivals of the Lo Lo ethnic group through the photo album "Colors of the Lo Lo Festival". This album was submitted by the author to the "Happy Vietnam" photo and video contest, organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications . The photos will showcase the beauty of the vibrant costumes worn by the people during their annual traditional festival.
The Lolo people have a rich and unique culture, encompassing everything from their clothing, folk songs and dances, traditional crafts, and cuisine to their distinctive customs, wedding traditions, festivals, and rituals that have been preserved to this day. 
As an ethnic group with a developed culture, possessing ancient bronze drums and a long-standing hieroglyphic writing system, the Lo Lo people are very proud of their rich culture, expressed through their dances, folk songs, and fairy tales. The bronze drum is a cultural treasure of the Lo Lo people, a sacred object connecting the divine and the human. Therefore, the drum is only played on particularly important occasions for the villagers: funerals, ceremonies honoring the earth god, ceremonies honoring heaven and earth, and other community cultural rituals.
Within the framework of the festival, locals and tourists can experience activities such as: folk art festival, Lo Lo folk song singing competition; traditional costume show; brocade embroidery competition; cotton spinning and weaving; competition in weaving household and production items from bamboo and rattan; and folk games. 
In particular, the Lo Lo ethnic group in Bao Lam district still preserves and passes on their traditional costumes with meticulously embroidered patterns, possessing high cultural value.
