"Asia Folk 2023" festival of folk arts and crafts of Asian cities was organized under the auspices of the Governor of the Capital City on June 15-20. The festival's performances began with a parade of 160 participants from 10 countries and 90 from Mongolia, dressed in national costumes.

The festival, which aims to promote the tangible and intangible cultural heritages to the world, was judged by three foreign judges and two domestic judges. More than 280 artists from 22 countries challenged their talents in eight categories of the festival and the best ones were awarded. As part of the festival, on June 17, at 04:00 in the morning, an event was held to greet the rising sun with a long song.

In previous years, the festival was organized only with folk art, but this year, it is special by adding handicrafts. Artisans are unique in the world by creating works that express the heritage and culture of their country and nation.
