The festival featured puppetry performances, including paper fan and drum dances for local children. In addition, the participants had a chance to visit many historical and cultural sites in the province.
As a practical and meaningful activity for puppetry-loving children, the festival is an opportunity for them to show their talents, exchange with each other and introduce new models in puppetry arts.
On the occasion, the organizing panel presented 30 scholarships, worth one million VND each, to needy children in the two communes of Long Thanh and Nhon Trach, and Long Khanh town.
