The
singing festival is a practical activity to celebrate the 128thbirthday of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19), and the 16th Congress of
the provincial trade union for the 2018-2023 tenure.
The event created a healthy playground for civil servants and local
workers to enhance exchanges and bolster solidarity.
More than 300 amateur artists, directors and musicians from 19 trade unions of
districts, Hoa Binh city and sectors participated in the singing festival. They
delivered 80 performances which extoled the Party, President Ho Chi Minh and
patriotism as well as praise labour force.
After two days of competition, the organising board chose 12 most excellent
performances to be staged at the awarding ceremony held on May 12. A total of 9
A awards, 16 B awards, 25 C awards and 25 encouragement awards were presented
to the most outstanding performances.
Three team’s first prizes belonged to trade unions of Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant,

As a land deeply intertwined with human history and Vietnam’s millennia-long journey of nation-building and defence, Hoa Binh is often revered for its epic tales and legends.
Residents of Hoa Binh boast a rich cultural identity, reflected in their unique language, traditional attire, customs, and folk melodies – described as "sweet as honey, clear as a mountain stream.”
Lac Son district’s Vu ban town held the 2025 Truong Kha temple festival on April 12–13 (the 15th–16th days of the third lunar month). Since its revival in 2019, the festival has been organised every three years, preserving valuable intangible heritage while meeting the community’s cultural and spiritual needs.
The clothing of women reflects the culture of the Muong, Thai, Tay, Dao, and Mong ethnic groups in the northern province of Hoa Binh.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
