The annual Mid-Autumn Festival will be held at the Vietnam Exhibition Centre for Culture and Arts from September 5 – 8, featuring a fun and exciting programme of events for children.

This year’s festivities include a range of activities, such as an exhibition, a fun fair and art performances.

The highlight of the festival will no doubt be the lantern parade, drawing 400 performers, including circus troupes, dragon dance groups, martial arts clubs and musicians, which will take place on September 7.

The street show aims to pay tribute to Vietnam’s traditional beliefs, culture and celebrations.

Furthermore, many young famous artists will perform in a charity concert to raise funds for disadvantaged children.-VNA
