Mid-Autumn festival is a traditional celebration for 
Vietnamese children. It is held on the 15th day of the 
8th lunar month in the middle of autumn and it lasts 
for one day. On this day, Moon Cakes are 
indispensible, and children are provided with nice 
lanterns and masks of all kinds and shapes. They 
carry their lanterns, wear funny masks and parade the 
house’s grounds or the streets, performing unicorn 
dances, singing folklore songs when the moon is 
rising to full. Mid-Autumn Festival is a chance for 
parents to spend time with their children and do 
something special with them, as well as celebrate the 
harvest after spending much time working hard on 
the crops. It is really an exciting festival. who which what where
