(HBO) – The Hoa Binh People’s Committee issued Document 841/UBND-KGVX on June 1 regarding the approval of building dossiers for three local intangible cultural heritages proposed to be named on the national list of their kind.
They are the Khai Ha traditional festival and the bamboo calendar of the Muong ethnic group; and the Keeng Loong dance of the Thai ethnic group in Mai Chau district.
The building of dossiers aims to preserve their values, pass on them to the next generations and raise public awareness and engagement in such works.
It is also part of activities to celebrate the province’s 135th founding and 30th re-establishment anniversary.
The committee has assigned the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to undertake the dossier building in collaboration with related sectors and authorities of Tan Lac, Lac Son, Cao Phong, Kim Boi, and Mai Chau districts.
The work is scheduled to be carried out between May and November./.

A special music show titled "The country is in the fullness of joy” has been held at Hoa Binh Square in Hoa Binh city in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30, 1975–2025).
The People's Committee of Lo Son commune, Tan Lac district, has organised the local annual traditional stream fishing festival on April 19 - 20.
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.
