THE MID- AUTUMN FESTIVAL
In Viet Nam, the Mid- Autumn festival is also called the Children’s festival
because it includes special activities for them.It is held every year on the 15
th
of
the 8
th
lunar month when the moon is the brightest and roundest.
Lanterns are made of red cellophane- transparent paper and bamboo sticks or of
plastic and thin steel wire. Most of them are traditionally lit up with candles
though some have battery- operated lamps.
There are a lot of interesting activities in the Mid- Autumn festival. Children and
their parents assemble in the garden, in the backyard, on the terrace of their
house, or even on the pavement where they can have a good view of the moon
and enjoy the performances. They also celebrate the festival with moon cakes
while watching the full moon rising. The festival ends up around midnight when
the moon is its highest position in the sky.
