From the organizer:

The Mid-Autumn Festival is among the most important ones in the Lunar Calendar, only second to the Lunar New Year. We celebrate the Festival on the 15th day of the 8th Lunar month, when the moon is biggest and brightest. Traditionally, the Festival is for children, but nowadays it has become an occasion to stay together, making and giving moon cakes and watching the spectacular traditional dance of the Lion.

On occasion of this Mid-Autumn Festival, come to a party for all the children and everyone who wants to revive the old traditions of the Festival with the following program:

– 18.00 – 18.30: Videoclip and presentation about the traditional festival
– 18.30 – 20.00: Lion-head painting, moon cakes preparing and baking
– 20.00 – 20.30: Lion dance with local traditional artists
– 20.30 – 21.00: Baking done, everyone goes party!

Tickets: 200.000VND/child (materials for lion-head painting and moon cakes baking included; free for parents).

THERE WILL BE PRIZE FOR THE BEST MADE LION-HEAD AND MOON CAKE!!!
