Mid-autumn festivals celebrated across the province

Programs celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival  have been cheerfully undertaken in every city and district in the province.

The Mid-Autumn Festival known as “Tet Trung Thu” in Vietnam is one of the biggest holidays in Vietnam and it is traditionally held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.

The highlight of this festival is the scenery that various children parade on the streets, while singing and carrying colorful lanterns of different sizes to highlight the festival. 

The province is being brightened with lanterns, marking it one of the most anticipated festivities of the year. Thousands of lanterns of animals of all shapes and sizes, such as the carp, phoenix, unicorn, or rabbit, flanked the road.

Traditional markets recreating the Full Moon Festival in ancient times are set up along many streets and shops to host cultural and artistic performances, folk games, a lantern procession, and a fruit bowl arrangement contest to celebrate the festival.

In many schools, children are eager to play with a star-shaped lantern during the Full Moon Festival. Therefore, the arrival of Autumn, the most beautiful season, inspires them to do something special to help people and children today understand the meaning of this festival in the past and present.

On the occasion, the local authorities presented gifts to disadvantaged children and those with outstanding academic records in the district.
