To ensure the festival's safety, Mu Cang Chai commune has developed a plan to ensure security and order, regulate traffic, and prevent fires. The commune's health station has prepared personnel and supplies for first aid. The youth union has formed a volunteer force to assist tourists, guide them on tours, and promote environmental protection.

Communication efforts were intensified through public address systems, electronic portals, and tourism fanpages, creating a widespread impact. Villagers proactively renovated their homes, cleaned village roads, and prepared characteristic products for the festival.

The roads are being renovated in preparation for the year-end festival.

With thorough and coordinated preparation from the government and people, the Mong Flute Festival, the Tớ Dày Flower Festival, and other activities celebrating the Spring of 2026 promise to bring a culturally rich space, creating a highlight to attract tourists and contributing to the promotion of tourism, economy, and society development in Mù Cang Chải in the new spring season.
