Chieng Sai commune is home to 10 hamlets and more than 6,400 residents, with the Mong accounting for over 32.65% of the population, mostly Mong Du (Black Mong), who maintain a distinctive traditional cultural identity.

The festival is an occasion for descendants to return to their roots, pay tribute to their ancestors and pray for favourable weather and abundant harvests. During the festival, daily work is set aside, allowing elders and children alike to take part in celebrations, don traditional attire and enjoy traditional dishes.

The performances praised the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, expressed love for the homeland and country, and celebrated the long-standing cultural traditions of the Mong community in Chieng Sai commune.

The festival activities created a joyful and upbeat atmosphere, strengthened community solidarity and helped promote the rich cultural traditions of the Mong people to visitors from across the country.
