The event aimed to celebrate the 94^th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3) and the Lunar New Year of the Dragon,

The festival started with a special art programme which included singing and dancing performances praising the country's innovation and the glory of the Party, by singers, amateur artists, and officials and employees of the Media-Culture Centre of Son La city.

Visitors were impressed by a ‘xoe’ dance performance combined with a great unity dance of communes and wards in the city. Within 15 minutes, the teams showed off their creativity in the most unique way by combining traditional Thai xoe dances, such as raising scarves to invite wine, back and forth xoe, tossing scarves, xoe bo bon, xoe vong, clapping and dancing in a circle, and xoe in rituals.

Within the framework of the festival, there were also sport activities, and folk game competitions such as ‘To mak le’, cloth ball throwing, and tug of war. The Spring Festival wrapped up with a great unity dance, with the participation of artisans and amateur artists from communes and wards to create a festive atmosphere and motivation for a successful new year.
