The new rice celebration in Quang Huy commune has been passed down from generation to generation to affirm the traditional cultural beauty, customs, beliefs and spirituality of the local ethnic people.

This year's event featured a new rice offering ritual at Chu communal house in Chieng Ha hamlet, folk games, and a photo exhibition showcasing rice products entitled "Muong Tac - Fragrant sticky rice season".

The ritual is performed by a shaman to express gratitude to the ancestors, heaven and earth, and pray for good weather, bumper harvests, and a prosperous life. After the ceremony at the ancestral temple, households conduct their own new rice offering ceremonies at home. Depending on each family's conditions, they invite guests to join the event.

The new rice celebration is held on the occasion of the ripe rice season in June, in order to restore and preserve the fine traditional cultural values ​​of the ethnic people in Quang Huy commune, creating a foundation for the locality to build a good cultural and spiritual life of Muong Tac. It also aims to promote and introduce "Phu Yen Rice" products and open up opportunities for cooperation and investment.

 As part of the new rice celebration activities of the Thai ethnic group in Quang Huy commune, Phu Yen district in 2024, special folk games took place at the campus of the traditional house of Quang Huy commune.

They included cooking rice and catching trach, a kind of catfish, in jars. For the rice cooking competition, participating teams must perform the steps of pounding paddy into rice. After that, they carried the pots and move them while keeping the fire stable, requiring the ingenuity. The game of catching trach in jars also required the skillfulness to catch the maximum number of fish.

In addition, the Organising Committee also organised a photo exhibition introducing rice products entitled "Muong Tac - Fragrant sticky rice season" to help visitors learn about the local rice production process.
