The event brought together 50 artisans and amateur performers from four hamlets: Suoi To, Tro, Lung Khoai and Suoi Khang. Teams competed in three categories: “Craftsmanship and Skills,” “Singing and Instrumental Performance,” and “Folk Games and Traditional Ethnic Sports.”

Teams compete in the “Craftsmanship and Skills” challenge.

Each category offered a distinctive cultural experience, from the dexterity and creativity involved in making handicrafts to folk songs and dances inspired by mountain life, as well as traditional games that foster community bonds. The enthusiasm of the contestants and the strong support from local residents created a lively, festive atmosphere, highlighting the richness of Mong cultural life in the highlands of Suoi To.
