The Dongs inhabit the junction area of Guizhou, Hunan and Guangxi. The Sparkler Festival usually falls on the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month. Scrambling for an iron ring is a major game during the festival, in which the players are divided into two teams.

When the iron ring falls to the ground, the players scramble for it. After one team gets possession of the ring, they dash to the goal with it, while the other team tries to block them.
