Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations and charity in Vietnam

Overview

Preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival are expanding across Vietnam, blending commercial trends with large-scale cultural celebrations and charitable initiatives. In Hanoi, the traditional market on Hang Ma Street serves as a central hub, featuring a resurgence in folk toys like star and carp lanterns. In Quang Ninh, festivities include large-scale lantern parades and the ‘Thu Fest 2026’ at Halong Marina, which featured a 199kg mooncake. Cultural and scientific festivals were also held at Vietnam Television (VTV) in Hanoi, including the musical production ‘Land of Moonlight’. In Tuyen Quang province, the annual Thanh Tuyen Festival, running from September 19 to 25, featured large-scale illuminated lantern processions with giant, colorful floats.

Charitable activities have expanded significantly to support diverse groups of children. General Secretary and President To Lam issued a letter to children both domestically and abroad, expressing affection and encouraging them to preserve national values. Outreach has targeted remote border areas in Thanh Hoa and Lao Cai, as well as children with disabilities in Ho Chi Minh City and patients in various hospitals. In Con Dao, the ‘Moonlight on the Frontier’ program brought festivities to island regions, while similar support was noted in Phu Tho and Lam Dong.

Beyond Vietnam, the Vietnamese community in Sakai, Japan, organized celebrations to help young residents maintain their cultural roots and language. These widespread festivities aim to ensure that children, regardless of their circumstances, can experience the traditional joy of the festival.
