Under the motto 'The colours of northern ethnic traditional costumes amid integration and development era,' the event targets to highlight policies of the Party and State on the conservation and promotion of ethnic minority cultures, and to honour such traditional cultural values.
The event will also offer an opportunity for ethnic artisans and artists to exchange experiences and learn from one another and for their communities to popularise their traditional culture to domestic and international visitors.
The festival will draw representatives of 17 provinces and cities in the region, including Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Phuc Tho, Hoa Binh, Son La, Yen Bai, and Lao Cai.
It is expected to feature a meeting with artisans and people who have made significant contributions to the preservation of ethnic culture, a seminar, a fashion show, and a number of exhibitions, among other activities.
