 | About Vietnam >> Vietnam's Festivals :>> Vietnam's Festivals - Mind Autumn Festival Every year, on the 15th day of the 8th month in lunar calendar, the children throughout Vietnam are given permission by their parents to march in a procession and carry their lanterns, to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival cakes and to perform the dragon or unicorn dance. This Festival is called "Mid-Autumn Festival" - or also called Children's Festival. In the festival, people eat moon cakes of sticky rice and filled with all kinds of unusual filling such as peanuts, sugar, lotus seed, duck-egg yolks, watermelon seed, etc. And children plays with colorful lanterns made in the form of boats, dragons, hares, toads, lobsters, unicorns, crap, etc. These are sold for weeks on the streets of every village and city. They light little candles and place them inside the lanterns made of cellophane paper and swing them around on sticks, all in the darkness of the evening. It is one of the most beautiful sights to see in Vietnam during the year. On the night of the festival, children form a procession and go through the streets holding their lighted lanterns and performing the dance of the unicorn to the accompaniment of drums and cymbals.
