The festival, categorised as a social custom and belief, is held on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month annually (Xip xi means 14). This is a long-standing ceremony of the White Thai people in Son La province with many unique traditional cultural features and rich humanistic meanings. It is the day when people turn to their ancestors, and also an occasion to pay special attention and care to the younger generation. The White Thai also call Tet xip xi the children's festival.
In recent years, along with the rituals, various cultural and sport activities have been organised during the festival, contributing to inspiring the pride of and love for traditional culture, and strengthening national solidarity.
