Colors of Gia Lai culture

Each week, the organizers invite a delegation of artisans to perform typical cultural features of their ethnic groups. These artisans re-capture their daily life activities, such as knitting, weaving, making statues, pounding rice, singing epics, performing folk songs, folk dances, and playing traditional musical instruments.

Participating in this special event, visitors will have chances to play folk games, enjoy festivals’ spaces, and taste traditional food of each ethnic group.

The unique cultural space of Gia Lai ethnic minority groups presented on the first weeks of October left deep impressions on both local people and tourists.
