The story

Deeltei Mongol Festival in Ulaanbaatar

Deeltei Mongol Festival is a national costume festival held annually July 10 in Sukhbaatar Square, dedicated to preserving the deel, Mongolia's traditional dress, and passing costume traditions to younger generations. Its 19th edition drew more than 7,000 participants in elaborately embroidered deels, fur-trimmed hats and ornate jewelry representing different provinces, alongside folk concerts, dance, fashion shows and ger-building demonstrations.

A day after Ulaanbaatar's July 9 national costume parade, Sukhbaatar Square hosts a second, closely related celebration of Mongolian dress: the Deeltei Mongol Festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This festival is closely related to the Mongolian National Costume Festival and Parade, held the day before on July 9 with a very similar national costume theme, so the two are best understood as consecutive companion events rather than fully independent traditions

02

The mystery stays covered

What sets this entry apart is its specific, documented scale and history: a 19th edition confirms roughly two decades of continuity, and its more than 7,000 participants wearing elaborately embroidered deels, fur-trimmed hats and ornate jewelry represent different provinces, turning the festival into a visual survey of Mongolia's regional costume variation

03

The city starts moving

Ger-building demonstrations add a practical craft element beyond costume display, showing the construction of Mongolia's traditional portable dwelling alongside the fashion programming
