The Son La art troupe won three A, four B, and one C prizes at the 2nd National Muong Ethnic Culture Festival 2025, which closed in Hanoi on November 24.

Hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the event brought together art troupes from five provinces with large Muong communities, creating a vibrant space for cultural exchange rich in identity.

The Son La troupe’s performance of the “Moi” festival excerpt wins A prize.

At the closing ceremony, the Organising Committee presented 40 A, B and C prizes to outstanding performances.

The Organising Committee awards A prizes to the top performances.
