This report shows how the Mid-autumn festival

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

sometime eggs 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

children to play and enjoy on a variety of

activities Moreover, children would

understand more about Vietnamese traditions.
