1. The traditional festivals of the Dai people include Door-keeper Festival, Opening Day, Water-splashing Festival and Flower Street Festival.

Songkran Festival is one of the most solemn traditional festivals of Dai people, which means New Year in June. During the Songkran Festival, people will bathe and dress up and go to the Buddhist temple to worship. After that, everyone will splash water on each other and bless each other, and they will splash water in droves.

On the closing day, people will go to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha on the opening day, offer food and coins to the Buddha statue, ask the Buddha to bless others, and set off fireworks and firecrackers at night.

Flower Street Festival is on the 13th day of the first lunar month. On this day, boys and girls will gather in Flower Street, where girls are more beautiful and boys are looking for suitable people. If the two sides love each other, they will ask for a date under the phoenix bamboo.
