This festival originated from the Independence Festival by H’mong people for celebrating the National Independence Day in the country since Vietnam declared its independence from France in September 2,1945.

For preserving and promoting traditional-ethnic culture, the Moc Chau district authorities recently decided to name the H’mong Independence Festival as the annual festival of minority ethnic groups in the district.
