The Gong festival is an annual festival that celebrates the culture of gongs. Each year, the five provinces in Viet Nam’s Central Highlands take turns hosting the festival. Many ethnic minority groups believe that gongs can be used to connect with gods. In many ceremonies like funerals, god worshipping, and harvest celebration, people play the gongs while others dance. This year, for the first time, the festival will welcome gongs artists from Viet Nam’s neighbouring countries. Festival goers will have a chance to see gong performances from many different ethnic groups. There is also a photo exhibition about gong culture. According to officials, if this year’s festival is successful, foreign gong artists will attend the festival more regularly.
