At noon, violin performances, cross-talks, and Dong ethnic songs at Taiping Road formed a magnificent symphony of ethnic unity through diverse art forms and interactive experiences. The audience found it surprising to see such wonderful performances after watching the parade.

At Grand Cross Square, a wine-tasting event and an Intangible cultural heritage food experience, featuring dishes such as Dan's crispy duck and Yujia potato slices, created a feast that drew large crowds. Fang Congjun, deputy general manager of Luoyu Dessert, said, "We have prepared 500 free bingfen (a kind of sweet and cold dessert made from rice starch) and lemon tea today. We hope more tourists can taste Guiyang's specialty drinks and snacks, and help promote Guiyang's cultural and tourism industry."
