The Mid-Autumn Festival is shining in many colours at the Văn Miếu-Quốc Tử Giám, the Temple of Literature, in Hà Nội. With the participation of more than 500 artists and artisans, the three-day celebration is packed with many cultural activities including music and dance performances, folk games and toy-making. Children in particular are having a great time at the event, enjoying all the programmes and listening to stories about how older generations celebrated the festival. They can join the making of several traditional toys like paper masks and lanterns. Among other attractions at the event is the presentation of three áo dài (the nation’s traditional dress) collections by well known designers.
