Representatives from 24 ethnic groups from the Northern and Central Highlands regions will take part in a spring festival welcoming the Lunar New Year in Hanoi from February 18-22.
To be held at the Cultural-Tourism Village of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups, visitors will have the opportunity to watch ethnic people prepare their traditional dishes and taste their delicacies.
Besides, art troupes from each ethnic group will then put on a range of performances to celebrate the new year.
There will also be traditional rituals and folk games specially revived for the event to promote understanding about ethnic cultures, such as the Pa Then fire jumping, Pu Peo prayer to the forest, as well as singing and dancing with gongs.
The festival also marks the opening of the 2013 programme themed “The Cultural-Tourism Village of Vietnamese Ethnic Groups: an attractive destination for domestic and foreign tourists.”
