All yummy dishes such as grilled chicken with salt and chili, tomato soup, leaf soup, bamboo tube rice, etc have been introduced on a festive day.

 

  All activities in the festival are filled with the breath of daily life and production, cultural characteristics of each ethnic group in the district.

 All cultural identities of the district’s ethnic minorities make up the richness, diversity, and unique features of Binh Thuan culture. As known, this biennial festival has experienced its 19th times. Of these, almost 18 times were held in the same venue of Dong Giang commune as the area is associated with the old revolutionary base area, with the place of Nam Son, the central hero in history.

 It can be seen that each ethnic group is shaped by its own cultural identity. That is the reason why such a festival is an opportunity for them to exchange and learn more experiences in the way of preserving and promoting the physical cultural values of the Vietnamese people. It is also the driving force to help people eagerly work to build a new life in the highlands and to strengthen the great unity bloc of the nations.
