During the week, numerous traditional folk activities were held such as ‘con’ throwing festival, ‘then’ singing festival, and bamboo swings, together with an international hot air balloon festival, and boat race.

Notably, the five-color sticky rice cooking festival was the most attractive event for the locals and visitors. Ten teams from 10 communes of Lam Binh district took part in the festival to make artistic works from sticky rice.

The People’s Army Newspaper would like to introduce some images of the festival.
