It will feature young singers and dance groups from local cultural clubs in the
rural districts of Thu Duc, Nha Be and Hoc Mon.
A music gala will be staged at 8pm on December 30 and 31 at the Youth Cultural

traditional instruments. Puppet artists and magicians will also be

More than 10,000 people
are expected to attend.
District 11’s Dam Sen Park and District 9’s Suoi Tien Park, two of the city’s biggest
parks, are promoting the holiday spirit through entertainment programmes.
Dam Sen Park’s visitors will enjoy for free a programme of music, dance,
comedy, circus and puppet shows, which began on December 29 and runs through
January 1.
Suoi Tien Park will offer free tickets, candy and toys to disadvantaged
children from welfare facilities around the city, while young artists of the

The comedy, entitled Dep Bat Chap (The Beauty) is a production by young
scriptwriter and director Bui Quoc Bao, who uses both Eastern and Western
styles to feature the play’s theme about urban women and social problems. It
will be staged every Saturday and Sunday in January at 5B Vo Van Tan Street in
District 1.

Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.
The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.
The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.
At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
