Bau Truc Quarter is home to a large number of Cham people and has a pottery village whose pottery making art was listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage in need of urgent protection. It promises to be one of the attractions that attracts tourists during the Festival. To prepare for the Festival, Bau Truc Quarter held a meeting to prepare human resources to participate in the Cham culinary competition, select performing artists, and introduce pottery making. Before that, 2 individuals were selected to join the provincial art troupe to practice performances introducing Cham culture to serve throughout the Festival.
