On March 3, Hoa Phu Commune People's Committee organized the 2026 Thai ethnic traditional festival in a joyful and united atmosphere. This is a traditional cultural activity that has been maintained for many years, carrying the meaning of praying for harvests, praying for blessings, praying for national peace and prosperity and a new year of peace and prosperity.
After implementing the policy of merging administrative units and organizing local government at two levels, this year's festival is organized in a more methodical scale, attracting a large number of officials, people and tourists to participate.
Representatives of local leaders and village elders and village chiefs performed incense offering rituals, prayers, and drumming to open the festival, opening a series of unique cultural activities.
Right after the solemn ceremony part is the exciting festival part with traditional art performances such as Xoe dance, Sap dance; along with folk games such as pot smashing, tug-of-war, stick pushing...
Activities imbued with Thai ethnic cultural identity not only create a joyful spring atmosphere but also contribute to connecting the community and educating the young generation about homeland traditions.
Within the framework of the festival, traditional Thai culinary booths also attract the attention of delegates and tourists with typical dishes such as can wine, kitchen-hanging meat and many rustic dishes with the flavor of mountains and forests. Many households also introduce traditional handicraft products, contributing to promoting culture and creating sustainable livelihoods.
According to Hoa Phu Commune People's Committee, maintaining the organization of the traditional Tet of the Thai people in the commune shows the awareness of preserving and promoting national cultural values.
This is a practical activity in preserving, maintaining and promoting the traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities in the province.
In the context that the locality after the merger continues to stabilize the organizational structure, improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management, the traditional Thai ethnic festival of Hoa Phu commune is even more important. From there, it contributes to consolidating the great national unity bloc, building an increasingly rich and healthy grassroots cultural life, creating a joyful atmosphere to enter the new year 2026 with many expectations of sustainable development.
