Nadaam bedeutet «Festival oder Fest des Sports». In der Landesprache heisst es «Eriin Gurvan Naadam» – «Drei männliche Sportarten». Diese sind: Pferderennen, Ringkampf und Bogenschiessen. Während des Festivals kleiden sich die Mongolen in bunter Kleidung und reiten auf ihren schönsten Pferden. Viele Nomaden kommen mit ihren Pferden aus fernen Provinzen und trainieren ihre Vollblüter für das grosse Rennen. Die offizielle Feier findet im ganzen Land jährlich zwischen dem 11. und dem 13. Juli statt; am Jahrestag der monglischen Revolution von 1921.
