AB - This paper explores the Peace-Wishing Festival of the Ruc people in Quang Binh Province, Vietnam, from the perspective of ethnic community cohesion. The Ruc people's Peace-Wishing Festival is not only a spiritual ritual but also a significant social event aimed at preserving and promoting the cultural identity of this ethnic group. Through the festival, the lifestyle, mindset, and history of the Ruc people, both past and present are reflected. Additionally, this festival symbolizes community cohesion and demonstrates the relationship between humans, nature, and deities. The study employs ethnographic methods, including in-depth interviews and participant observation, applying social functionalism and structuralism to analyze the festival’s role and significance in Ruc communal life. The research findings indicate that the Ruc people's Peace-Wishing Festival has been revitalized within the context of policies promoting the preservation of ethnic minority cultural heritage, with active participation from the community and local authorities. The festival activities not only contribute to strengthening community solidarity but also play a crucial role in maintaining and promoting the cultural values of the Ruc people. This study enriches the understanding of Ruc cultural traditions and offers insights into strategies for safeguarding ethnic heritage in contemporary Vietnam.
