This report shows how the Mid – autumn
festival was held in my neighborhood.
The Mid- Autumn festival was held on the
15
th
of August ( according to Lunar Calendar ).
This festival was specially organized for
Children .
It was held in the yard of the Cultural House in

my village. The main festival lasted for about
three hours when the moon is at its fullest.
During the festival, children took part in
various activities like : singing and shouting,
wearing masks, parading on the roads and
banging the drums.
Besides, children ate a very special cake
called Moon Cakes . They are filled with lotus
seeds, orange peel, ground beans, and
sometimes egg and pork fat for flavor.
Children went on playing traditional games
until mid-night.
I think this festival is a very special occasion
for Vietnamese people and especially for
