Bonjour,

J'aimerais savoir à quel endroit faut il se rendre pour assister à la fête de la mi-automne ? Que se passe t-il exactement ce jour là (est ce la danse du dragon fait partie de la célébration) ?

J'ai lu que c'était une fête pour les enfants et j'aimerais avoir plus de renseignements afin de m'y rendre en famille, par contre ça tombe lundi 12 septembre, savez vous si elle sera également célébrée dimanche ?

Merci à ceux qui voudront bien répondre à mon post

Sorry, must answer you in English

1. Yes, it is a festival for the kids. It falls on the 15/8 Chinese Lunar calendar (12 sep)
For more info, check out this wiki. It is in Vietnamese but you can run through the google translation machine.

2. Per this wiki, the dragon dance is normally organized before the main date. However, it is most popular on the 14 and 15 Chinese lunar date.

3. Yes, it is normal to organize it on the weekend before (even after). For more info, ask your neighbors.

Hi Anatta,

Thanks for your answer

I live in a house and don't know much people here, it's not easy to get any information from my neighbors cause they don't speak english or french.

Thanks for the link, now I just need to find out the place to go this week end
