The Vietnamese version of the festival is a family occasion, designed for children to enjoy. The festival is also
called the Moon Festival, the Children’s Festival, or the Lantern Festival, these names
reflecting the important themes of the Mid Autumn Festival.
Typical activities for an organized event would include:
• Story-telling: traditional moon legends for children
• Lanterns: display of artwork, lanterns for children to take home
• Performance: traditional dance and music, performed by children where possible.
• Moon cakes: the traditional holiday treat
These are pictures from past moon festival events illustrating these activities.
