This is an activity to encourage creativity, preserve and promote traditional crafts to serve tourism development in 2025.

Accordingly, each team will perform the art of weaving, brocade weaving, processing and displaying traditional meals in the area arranged by the Organizing Committee. The teams will use indigenous decorative materials and have an introduction and presentation of the products to promote local cuisine and souvenirs.
