There will be a host of sporting events, including an elephant race, a boat race, and several folk games.
A Central Highlands Ethnic Minority Food Festival will be the gastronomic highlight of the year.
The Central Highlands has been recognised as a land of mysterious mountains and forests with a significant population of ethnic minorities whose varied customs and lifestyles are an anthropologist’s delight.
The region is also home to some of the most endangered species in Vietnam and Southeast Asia such as the Indochinese tiger, gaur, wild Asia water buffalo and Asia elephant.
Its rich and unique natural beauty and cultural diversity make it an ideal site for tourism development.
Meanwhile, the People’s Committee of the central coastal province of Ninh Thuan has approved a plan to host the 2013 Raglai Cultural Festival scheduled for August 28-31.
