Grassroots cultural and sporting activities are experiencing growth across Vietnam, serving as tools for social cohesion and health. In regions such as Quang Ninh, community engagement is rising through diverse activities including folk dancing, Zumba, pickleball, and children's balance bike racing. Local art clubs are also playing a vital role in preserving intangible cultural heritage, such as Xoan singing, Ca tru, and ethnic folk performances from the Muong, Dao, and Mong people.

In Hanoi, the city is piloting new models for grassroots cultural and sports institutions to enhance local life. One model in Van Diem village integrates community activities with traditional woodworking crafts, providing amenities like digital community rooms and martial arts areas. A second model in the Xuan La 2 residential group focuses on urban settings, utilizing local cultural houses to host clubs for Zumba, folk dance, and table tennis, while also providing spaces for information lookup and online public services.

Additionally, initiatives like the ‘Sharing Sympathy’ Performing Arts Week in Hanoi have highlighted inclusivity by featuring artists with disabilities as creators, directors, and performers.
