The Mid – Autumn festival was held on the 15
th
of August. 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 when the moon is at its fullest. During the festival, children took part
in various activities like: singing and shouting, wearing marks, parading on the roads

and banging the drums.
Besides, children ate a very speacial cake called Moon Cakes. They are filled with
lotus seeda, orange peel, groud beans and sometimes eggs and fork fat for flavor.
Children went on playing traditional games until mid- night.
I think this festival is a very speacially for children to play and enjoy on a variety
of activities. Moreover, children would understand more about Vietnamese traditions
