In particular, Nghe An province will coordinate with the Ministry of Public Security to participate in festival activities such as trumpets, cavalry, and plays about Uncle Ho.

Regarding the content of each activity at the festival, the opening and closing ceremonies are being planned methodically and elaborately with the desire to create a different mark and highlight compared to previous years.

Besides, many other provinces and cities across the country also proposed to participate and coordinate in organizing the Sen Village festival.
