From late March to early May 2023, across the province, from the plains to the mountains, the local cultural sector organized the Sen Village Singing Festival at the grassroots level.

Festivals of districts, cities and towns are organized in many forms, diverse in types, attracting a large number of actors to perform and audiences to watch and cheer, creating a strong spread.

The works are elaborately staged, promising to bring to the Festival truly quality singing, dancing, and music programs.
