In Vietnam, various ethnic groups celebrate unique cultural traditions that strengthen their sense of solidarity and cultural identity.

The Tet festival, widely celebrated by the Kinh ethnic group, marks the Vietnamese New Year and is a time for family reunions and paying respects to ancestors. The Hmong ethnic group celebrates their New Year, known as "Tet Hmong," with vibrant festivities including traditional dances and rituals to scare away evil spirits. Meanwhile, the Tay ethnic group celebrates "Long Tong" to honour the rice harvest, emphasising community spirit and gratitude towards nature.

These celebrations serve as vital occasions for ethnic groups to reaffirm their cultural heritage and strengthen bonds within their communities. Through the preservation and continuation of these

celebrations, Vietnam's ethnic groups maintain a deep connection to their roots and contribute to the richness of cultural diversity in the country.
