THE MOON FESTIVAL ( THE CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL)


The Moon Festival is on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. The Moon Festival is also call The Children's Festival. At that time the moon is full, clear and bright. On that day people celebrate and pray for the whole year to have a good corp and for family to be safe, with fullness and completeness of life. 
People prepare everything offering to the Moon. They are: flowers, fruits, and Moon Cakes. The Moon Cakes have mixing nuts and red yolk inside and the other one is Durian Green Bean Cake and a lot of different flavour. 
The children have fun with their lanterns. The lanterns have been bought or made by themselves. They make the lanterns like a star or animals and they put the candle inside or they can buy the electric lanterns to have fun and music. The children carry the lanterns with colourful shows, they dance and sing Moon songs.
The Moon Festival is always celebrated at night because the light is very important, the children always have fun, the families are very happy and they stay together.
