(CLO) The Spring Festival across the country in 2025 will have the participation of about 200 ethnic people, with the motto "cultural subjects introduce themselves".
From February 14 to 16, 2025 (January 17 to 19, At Ty year), at the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism (Dong Mo, Son Tay, Hanoi), the "Spring Colors in All Regions of the Country" Festival will take place with many activities imbued with the cultural identity of ethnic groups.
According to the Management Board of the Vietnam Ethnic Culture and Tourism Village, the "Spring Colors in All Regions of the Country" Festival in 2025 will have two main groups of activities: A program of songs celebrating the glorious Party, celebrating the spring of At Ty, celebrating the country entering a new era, the era of national growth, and Party and State leaders wishing the people of all ethnic groups a Happy New Year.

The second group is activities that recreate and introduce rituals, festivals, and good customs of Vietnamese ethnic groups. Through that, people and tourists will understand more about the values, cultural beauty, and traditions of ethnic groups in the activities of welcoming Tet and spring for thousands of years.
The highlight is the Cham people's tower opening ceremony (Pơh bang yang ceremony). The tower opening ceremony is to offer offerings to the gods to pray for favorable weather, good health for the villagers, and permission for people to open new businesses, build dams, and prepare for planting.
Next, the Khai Ha Festival of the Muong ethnic group in Hoa Binh province (also known as the going down to the fields or opening the forest) will also be recreated at the Cultural Village during the spring days of At Ty.
Khai Ha is the biggest traditional folk festival, an indispensable cultural and religious activity of the Muong people in Hoa Binh, especially in the four major Muong regions: Bi, Vang, Thang, Dong. This is also the unique cultural feature of the Muong people in Hoa Binh, the pride of the people of all ethnic groups in Hoa Binh province.

Along with the Khai Ha Festival, the folk knowledge of the Bamboo calendar of the Muong people in Hoa Binh is also introduced and performed during the Festival.
The Bamboo Calendar of the Muong people consists of 12 cards, made from bamboo sticks, on which are engraved symbols and signs representing the days, months and natural phenomena of each month of the year.
The Bamboo Calendar plays a special role in the life of the Muong community, and is an invaluable asset of folk knowledge. In addition to the solar calendar, all production activities, daily life, customs, rituals, festivals of the community, and important events of each person and each Muong family in Hoa Binh are based on the calculation of good and bad luck of the Bamboo Calendar.
Within the framework of the Spring Festival across the country in 2025, there will also be a reenactment of the singing and dancing excerpt under the cotton tree (Kin Chieng Boọc Mây) of the Thai ethnic group in Thanh Hoa province; a reenactment of the New Rice Celebration of the Raglai ethnic group in Ninh Thuan province...
