The 10th art festival for the armed forces, youths and students of Hoa Binh province celebrating the 80th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army and 35th anniversary of the All People’s Defence Day wrapped up on April 25.
A performance of Yen
Thuy district at the festival.
The two-day festival drew the participation of
some 400 actors, actresses and instrumentalists of 10 art troupes who staged 48
performances extoling the Party, Uncle Ho, patriotism, the tradition and
development of the Vietnamese People’s Army and local armed forces.
It was an opportunity for local officers,
soldiers and people to recall the development journey of the Hoa Binh armed forces,
while popularising the noble quality of "Uncle Ho’s soldiers” in the new era
and enhancing solidarity between soldiers and local people.
Hoa Binh city was presented with the first award
while Yen Thuy and Cao Phong districts took the second awards, and Lac Son, Mai
Chau and Tan Lac got the third awards.
The People’s Committee of Lac Son district held a ceremony on April 28 to receive the provincial relic certificate for the ancient rock carving site at Suoi Co stream, located in My Thanh commune.
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.
