Visitors can witness a grand procession of illuminated deity lanterns, lion and dragon dances, and portrayals of revered figures such as Guan Yu and the Monkey King. These performances, staged by local organizations and community groups, demonstrate the spirit of unity among the province's diverse ethnic groups.
A standout feature this year is the harmonious blend of Thai, Chinese, and Isan cultures. Chinese musical instruments like the erhu and guzheng are accompanied by traditional Isan rhythms and instruments, creating an enchanting musical experience that bridges cultural divides.
