Mid Autumn is is one of the most popular festivals in Vietnam. It is held on the fifteenth day 
of the eighth lunar month when the moon is at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of 
this festival is the moon- cake. Children are often eager to welcome this festival because they 
are usually presented toys, masks as well as lights. During this festival, children carry 
beautiful lanterns, sing and parade on the streets. Traditional dances like the unicorn or lion 
are performed. The unicorn is symbol of luck and prosperity for everybody. The festival is 
related to the legend of Cuoi, whose wife accidentally urinated on a sacred banyan tree, taking 
him with it to the Moon. Every year, on the mid-autumn festival, children light lanterns and 
participate in a procession to show Cuoi the way to Earth.
