First ethnic minority cultural festival held in Gia Lai province

More than 700 artisans from 16 districts and towns in the Central Highlands’ province of Gia Lai joined in the first local ethnic cultural festival, held recently in the locality.

The festival was part of activities being held to mark the 90th founding anniversary of Gia Lai province (May 24) and in response to Vietnamese Ethnic Groups’ Culture Day.
