New rice celebration

Central Highlands provinces

New rice celebration - Central Highlands region - from October 10, 2020 The new rice celebration is one of the long-standing traditional Vietnamese festivals of ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands, often held after the harvest season. The time of the new rice celebration varies between localities and clans, but usually starts on the 10th day of the 10th lunar month every year (around November). This is an opportunity for the people to thank Giang (Heaven) and the gods for protecting and giving the villagers a good harvest, with many customs and rituals such as: worshiping heaven and earth, river and stream gods, mountain gods, rain gods, thunder gods, crop gods to pray for favorable weather, inviting guests to the house, dancing, singing, eating and drinking... The celebration of new rice sometimes lasts up to a week, because it is not held simultaneously by all the houses in the village, but one after another. Even the new rice celebration of the J'rai or Bahnar clan lasts from November of the solar calendar (around October AL) to January of the following year. Each house will worship gods, rice spirits, ancestors, invite friends and relatives to the house and consider it an honor, because the more guests the house has, the more blessings it will have. Community collective activities can be mentioned, such as: gong dancing, fire making, and singing and playing... If you like to enjoy the village atmosphere and unique identities in Central Highlands culture, this will be the right time for your trip to the highlands. You can immerse yourself in the festivals of the people and see firsthand the intangible cultural values, typically the gong culture here.
