The programme will highlight the craft of brocade weaving, a traditional craft of ethnic groups at the village. In addition to being introduced to the typical features of brocade weaving, visitors can also explore the techniques and processes of making a piece of brocade, including carding, dyeing, spinning, and weaving.

The craft plays an important role in the spiritual life of ethnic people, including the Bahnar in Gia Lai Province and the Ta Oi in Thua Thien Hue Province, as brocade is an indispensable part of their traditional rituals.

The festival-goers to the village can join a New Year banquet, which brings together typical dishes of ethnic groups, and enjoy folklore songs and dances along with interesting puppetry performances staged by artists from the Vietnam Puppetry Theatre.

Traditional cake making contests, exciting folk games, and tours to Khmer pagodas and Cham towers in the village will also be organised within the framework of the programme.
