The festival was expected to help people learn more about the exquisite features of “Don Ca Tai Tu,” a traditional musical art form of the South.

At the opening ceremony, Head of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Anh Dung held that the festival took place at a time when the province is continuously implementing its commitments with the UNESCO to maintain the traditional musical art as well as actualizing resolutions of the Central Party Committee on building Vietnamese culture and people to meet the national sustainable development goals.
