With lively movements set to cheerful tunes and songs expressing love for the homeland and nation, these activities appeal to various age groups and significantly engage the community. Folk dancing not only improves health but also fosters unity and strengthens cultural and spiritual life among residents. Furthermore, cultural clubs, poetry groups and health-enhancing activities hold frequently activities and engage in exchanges.

Ethnic sports like pole pushing, archery, and tug-of-war have been included in district and regional sports competitions and major festivals, receiving enthusiastic community support. Outstanding individuals and teams from local competitions go on to compete in provincial and district sports events, further invigorating the sports movement. In recent years, local clubs have achieved remarkable results in various sports competitions. The local sports delegation has been honoured multiple times, achieving high rankings in events such as archery and women’s tug-of-war, including first and second places in 2024.

Concurrently, these activities strengthen community unity and contribute to building grassroots cultural life and combating social evils.

Looking ahead, the commune plans to intensify awareness efforts, diversify and enrich the sports movement, and align it with the national solidarity campaign to build cultural life and civilised living standards.
