The event will follow a full rehearsal on March 30, with the official ceremony scheduled for the following morning. Local residents, along with gong performers and xoang dance artisans, are set to take part.
Organisers said the festival is being restored in line with authentic Jrai traditions. The program will feature two main components: a spiritual ritual led by the village elders’ council to connect with deities, and a festive segment showcasing cultural performances, including gong music, xoang dances and traditional cuisine.
The victory celebration is a hallmark cultural event of the Jrai community, symbolising unity in building and protecting their villages. It also serves as an occasion for villagers to express gratitude to deities for safeguarding the community from natural disasters and epidemics, while ensuring peace and prosperity.
Officials said the restoration supports efforts to preserve traditional cultural values in accordance with Vietnam’s Resolution No. 33 on cultural development. The event is also expected to contribute to tourism promotion during the National Tourism Year -Gia Lai 2026.
All rituals will be conducted in their original form, with broad community participation aimed at maintaining cultural relevance in contemporary life. The entire process will be documented to support future research and preservation of folk traditions.
