It can be said that the Mid-Autumn Festival in Phan Thiet is known nationwide as a cultural event that creates its mark. It is not only because of the sparkling childhood colors, but it is also the spiritual-cultural product for tourists every full moon in August (15th August Lunar Calendar)

Mid-Autumn Festival 2023 had many unique models.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is maintained annually not simply because it is a traditional cultural activity of Phan Thiet but also to prove the creativity, collective skills, and solidarity of units in educating traditions, and national cultural identity preservation.

Mr. Nguyen The Dung - Head of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phan Thiet, shared: The Mid-Autumn Festival is also an encouragement for poor and difficult circumstances students to move forward in life and achieve good results in their educations. Therefore, the People's Committee of Phan Thiet City has tried to mobilize all resources and attract the attention of all levels, sectors, and social forces in organizing the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2024.

With hopes of creating a good impression on local people and tourists, and making the Mid-Autumn Festival become a true festival for children, this festival is a creative challenge for artisans, especially children. While the lanterns and models would be created, they would integrate some meaning or stories such as praising the Party and beloved Uncle Ho, typical images of Phan Thiet’s hometown, and city tourism promotion in many fields such as Aquaculture, Agriculture, Environment, etc.

The 2024 Mid-Autumn Festival will officially begin at 6:00 p.m. on September 16th, 2024 (the 14th August lunar calendar), at Nguyen Tat Thanh Square, with the participation of 18 wards, communes, and students from many primary and secondary schools in Phan Thiet City.

There will be a 2.4 km route, starting from Nguyen Tat Thanh Square - Ton Duc Thang - Thu Khoa Huan - Tran Hung Dao and finishing at Le Duan roundabout. “This is a reasonable route since the average distance, wide roads, and sidewalks for the parade and people to enjoy.” shared the Organizing Committee
