Many festivals are held by ethnic minorities in Tuyen Quang in the early spring such as harvest praying festival in Tan Trao, Tho Vuc communal house festival (Son Duong); Long Tong festival of the Tay ethnic group in Chiem Hoa, Na Hang and Lam Binh districts; Gieng Tanh communal house festival (Tuyen Quang city), Tien Cave festival (Ham Yen). Especially, all festivals have the presence of folk games, attracting a lot of local people and tourists.

The games are organised very richly and diversely, including tug of war, Con (cloth ball) throwing, pam beating, yen beating, catching a duck while blindfolded, climbing to rainbows, etc. All games bringing unique cultural features impress visitors both inside and outside the province.

These folk games have shown the histories, customs and habits of local people via skillful competitions, muscle training, and cultivation encouragement, etc.

The creation of values from folk games in the cultural activities of ethnic minorities in Tuyen Quang has contributed to building a rich cultural life, creating an exciting atmosphere to promote production and business activities. In addition, it also has preserved the cultural beauty in the ethnic communities in Tuyen Quang in particular and the country in general.
