This year's festival is organized on a district scale with 9 unique camps, representing 9 villages and 10 Muongs. Here, many folk games are organized, including throwing con - a typical game of the highland people that many people like to participate in. Throwing con is divided into 2 forms of play by the Thai people: "con vong" and "con xai", in which the most popular is throwing "con vong". The player holds the end of the cloth string and spins the con a few times clockwise before throwing it up so that the con flies through the circle, wins and is considered to be the lucky one.
