The story

Tuyen Quang Mid-Autumn Festival in Tuyen Quang

Tuyên Quang's Thành Tuyên Festival turns Mid-Autumn lantern making into a city-scale night parade. Neighborhood teams construct illuminated moving models shaped as dragons, fish, moon figures and folk characters, then compete for places in the official procession. Rehearsal evenings and ward parades reveal the community workshop behind the spectacle, while lion dance and familiar moon-festival characters keep the event rooted in a children's celebration.

Neighborhood-built lantern vehicles the size of parade floats carry dragons, carp, rabbits and folk characters through Tuyên Quang after dark.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The giant models are designed and built by neighborhood teams rather than supplied as a uniform commercial parade fleet

02

The mystery stays covered

Registered structures must pass local checks for traffic, electrical and fire safety before selected entries enter the official route

03

The city starts moving

Their moving dragons, folk heroes, animals and mechanical effects grew from family lantern outings that began around 2004, so the event's extraordinary scale still rests on block-by-block communal making and a festival centered on children
