DNO - A series of cultural activities celebrating Cham heritage will take place at the My Son Sanctuary in Da Nang from November 22 to 26, offering visitors opportunities to explore traditional music, costumes, folk games, crafts, and artistic performances.

Held to mark Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day on November 23, the program, themed “Touch Champa Cultural Heritage”, aims to bring visitors closer to the traditions and spiritual life of the Cham community through interactive experiences with local artisans.
A highlight will be the “Awakening Champa Traditional Colors” program, to be held near the lotus pond and Tower H from 9:00 am to 11:30 am and from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm daily.
Visitors can enjoy excerpts from Payak performances, listen to Cham folk songs, try traditional musical instruments and costumes, and interact with Cham artisans and performers.
Throughout the five-day event, Cham and Vietnamese folk games will be organized near the sanctuary's entrance, allowing visitors to participate in cultural exchanges and receive gifts.
Meanwhile, the My Son Exhibition House will host hands-on workshops showcasing traditional Cham and Vietnamese crafts.
Under the guidance of skilled artisans, participants can explore traditional techniques and gain insights into the craftsmanship behind handmade products. A 50% discount on workshop participation fees will be offered during the event.
Two daily artistic performances will further enrich the visitor experience. The "Heritage Colors" program, beginning at 9:00 am near the entrance, will feature traditional performances and introduce visitors to the site's cultural heritage.
At 2.45 pm, the "Echoes of My Son" program at temple groups B, C and D will recreate aspects of Cham cultural traditions through artistic performances incorporating ceremonial elements.
Set against the ancient temple towers, these performances aim to connect the sanctuary's architectural heritage with cultural traditions passed down through generations.
With activities spread across the entrance area, exhibition house and temple complexes, the program promises an engaging journey into Cham culture.
The event also seeks to encourage greater appreciation of cultural heritage while offering visitors a more profound understanding of My Son's historical and cultural significance.
