Festive-goers are offered to try a range of hands-on activities. In particular, you'll be able to harvest rice, and maneuvre a cart driven by a horse or a cow. Besides farming activities, there will be some funny ones like catching grasshoopers. After all, the very beautiful natural environment of the area makes the festival well worth attending.
Festivities stretch over a couple of days usually in late September to early October.
