Tết Trung Thu (Mid-Autumn Festival)

Also known as Tết Trung Thu, this traditional celebration takes place on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month — typically in late September or early October. However, in Ho Chi Minh City festivities often begin in August, leading up to the main celebration. Here, the streets come alive with colorful lanterns, delicious mooncakes, and impressive lion dances. It's a great time to experience the city's culture and meet locals.
