What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than centering on one region's customs, the festival deliberately assembles performers from dozens of Vietnam's 54 officially recognized ethnic groups in a single location, turning the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism into a live, condensed cross-section of the country's cultural diversity

02

The mystery stays covered

The 2026 program featured Quan Ho folk songs from Bac Ninh, a UNESCO-recognized intangible heritage form, alongside Then spiritual rituals of the Tay, Nung and Thai communities, Xoe dance, Hue royal court music, Bai Choi performance art, and Vi and Giam folk songs, giving visitors access to traditions from the Red River Delta, the northern highlands, central Vietnam and beyond without traveling to each region individually
