There are also performances of traditional musical instruments and folklore music, reproductions of the traditional rituals of ethnic groups, gong performances, and a xoang folk dance.

Visitors will have an opportunity to learn more about the craft of weaving and the tourism potential and indigenous culture of the Jarai people in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai.

On June 28, the Raglai ethnic people in Ninh Thuan province will restage their traditional ritual to show filial piety. This ritual is not only observed within families but also among the entire community.

Photos on the cultural activities of the Raglai people, indigenous specialties, and tourist products of the province’s Bac Ai district will also be displayed at the occasion.
