Traditional performances outside of events and festivals require planning as there are no music or dance venues with performances each night. Some restaurants and hotels arrange evening cultural programs with music, dancing, and textile fashion shows with advance notice. Tour operators can arrange for private performances at hotels, homes or cultural centers.

Weddings and festivals provide authentic opportunities to see traditional music and dancing with doira drums, dutar instruments, and energetic dancing. Some guesthouses arrange impromptu music evenings if guests express interest. While less organized than Samarkand or Bukhara, authentic music experiences are possible in Fergana Valley with flexibility and local connections.
