According to one of the organisers of 'Chaga Ngee', Adibo Newmei, Liangmai traditional and cultural items will be showcased on the occasion.
He said that large number of people are expected to participate in the one-day celebration at Tamei.
For the past several years, the Liangmai community has been celebrating the Chaga Ngee at various Liangmai villages.
Adibo Newmei said that the young generation has been greatly influenced by outside culture that today majority of the youths do not know the importance of ones' culture.
