On May 17 and 18, the Cơ Tu and Tà Ôi are gonna bring the heat with some special events. And on May 18, don't miss the re-enactment of a forest worship ceremony by ethnic communities in A Lưới. This traditional ritual is all about the deep spiritual life of local communities and their harmonious relationship with nature.
Now, if you're into folklore, you'll dig the "President Hồ Chí Minh - An Infinite Love" themed program. It's gonna feature some sick folk music and dance performances, showcasing the love and respect of various ethnic groups, especially those from A Lưới and surrounding areas, for the late President.
Oh, and we can't forget about the Zeng weaving art by the Tà Ôi people. This traditional brocade craft has been recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage.
Every weekend, you can catch regular performances under the theme "Songs for Uncle Hồ," featuring music, traditional dances, and instrumental performances in tribute to President Hồ Chí Minh. Sounds cool, huh?

The goal? To showcase the daily and weekend activities at the "common home" of Viẹt Nam's 54 ethnic groups, preserve traditional customs, and foster interregional and intercultural connections – all while attracting more visitors and encouraging continued learning from President Hồ Chí Minh's moral example and lifestyle.
