Description

Vietnam - August 2008
Hoi An - Full Moon Night Festival

This enchanting festival of the Legendary Night Festival in Hoi An is a monthly ritual of homage and gratitude to the moon. The most alluring characteristic of this festival is the fact that for that one night every month, the town of Hoi An transforms itself into an early 19th century town. Artificial lightings are turned off and vehicles are ordered off the streets. The Legendary Night Festival in Hoi An is held on the 14th day of each Vietnamese lunar month, on a full moon night. On this occasion, the locals walk the moon and lantern lit streets in old traditional costumes. Visitors to the town can witness people of different ages reciting poetry or performing traditional Vietnamese operas on the street. In this festival the revelry lies in the quiet, the peace, the poetry and the enchantment.
