There are many traditional festivals of the Miao people, including the New Year of the Miao, 8 April, the Dragon Boat Festival, the New Year's Eating Festival, and the Autumn Festival: among these, the Miao New Year is the most solemn one.

On the morning of the festival, people put the prepared delicacies on the stove beside the fire to worship their ancestors, and smear wine on the nose of the cows to show their reward for their hard work during the year. Young men and women dance in full costumes.[citation needed]
