This year's festival will feature six major sections and 28 events.

The opening ceremony is scheduled for 8 pm on July 8 at the Inner Mongolia Sports Stadium, presented as a concert.

While the closing ceremony is set to be a dance showcase, selecting award-winning works from Inner Mongolia's dance competitions and inviting classic works from Guangxi, Tibet, Ningxia, and Xinjiang autonomous regions to promote the exchange and mutual learning of ethnic folk dances.
