The Dong people are known for their warmth and love of gatherings. As the saying goes, "Big festivals in March, June and September; smaller celebrations throughout the year." Each festival is a cherished opportunity to get together.
Adorned in their most vibrant traditional attire, people join in singing the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group, parading through their village and enjoying the lively atmosphere of a communal Long Table Feast.
Their colorful clothing enhances the significance of these gatherings; their harmonious songs echo a deep connection to one another and to nature; and their shared meals are a well-deserved reward for their hard work, celebrating the simple joys of life. The warmth of the Dong people is infectious, leaving a lasting impression on all who experience it.
