On February 10, from early morning, thousands of tourists from all over the country flocked to Lim festival on the main day of the festival, enjoying Quan Ho melodies.
The Lim Festival 2025 will be held on February 9 and 10 (January 12 and 13) in three communes of the former Noi Due commune, now Lim town, Noi Due commune and Lien Bao commune. The festival center is Hong Van mountain (Lim mountain), Lim town.
In the tents of the clubs that organize singing exchanges and Quan Ho singing performances for tourists, this year the tent of the young Quan Ho club in Hoan Son commune (Tien Du district) is especially attractive with performances by young Lien Anh and Lien Chi.
The performance "Muoi nho" by seven young girls, the youngest of whom is Nguyen Bao Tram (3 years old), followed by Nguyen Linh Chi (4 years old) made many tourists enjoy singing along to the sweet melodies of Quan Ho folk songs.
Because she is still young, in addition to performing on stage, Bao Tram is taken care of by the other brothers and sisters in the troupe, and is very cutely carried around to visit the Lim festival.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nguyen, teacher of the young Lien Anh and Lien Chi members of the Quan Ho Mang Non club in Hoan Son commune, said that in the club, the youngest member is 2 and a half years old and the youngest Lien Chi member Bao Tram is the second youngest member. Currently, the club has about 36 young members.
"When 3-4 year olds want to learn, they learn very quickly. When they don't want to learn, no amount of coaxing will work. Because they are learning to eat and talk and can't read yet, being able to memorize a Quan Ho song, sing it with the right melody, and confidently perform on stage is already very good," said Ms. Nguyen.

According to Ms. Nguyen, for many years now she has opened free Quan Ho singing classes, so that children around the commune can participate in learning to sing, learn to love Quan Ho folk songs and spread the values everywhere. Up to now, the oldest child has grown up and is a student studying art.
Talking to Tuoi Tre Online , Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung (71 years old, from Thai Nguyen ) said that she and 6 other friends came from their hometown to Lim festival at 7am. Ms. Dung said this was her first time attending Lim festival.
"We have seen and heard a lot about Quan Ho but have not witnessed it with our own eyes, so we are determined to go to the cradle of Quan Ho to enjoy it," said Ms. Dung.
Similarly, Ms. Luan Thi Bich Thuy (31 years old, from Lang Son ) said that today was also the first time she went to Lim festival. Ms. Thuy went with her paternal and maternal grandparents, hoping to hear Quan Ho singing in person and see what it would feel like, because normally she only listens to it on TV or online.

For many years, the festival's steering committee has strictly banned all forms of Quan Ho singing, with hats held up for money.
