Abstract: This article explores the formation, development, and transformation of traditional community festivals through a structural-functional theoretical approach, focusing on the case study of the Nguyen Trung Truc festival in the Kien Giang community. Utilizing a cultural impact assessment framework, it examines various ethnic cultural aspects such as methods of using the natural environment for mutual well-being, practices of worship, creativity, and community togetherness. It also looks into the organization of life based on cohesion through cultural institutions and beliefs, as well as methods of expressing community cultural values. This comprehensive approach aims to understand the traditions and traditional practices of the Nguyen Trung Truc festival and the real life of the Kien Giang community from multiple dimensions. Through the article, the author proposes that local authorities promote the role of the community in organization and management. At the same time, develop a set of cultural codes of conduct for festivals to preserve and promote the value of festival heritage in the direction of sustainable development.
