In Myanmar, we have many festivals every year. Among them, my favourite festival is the Thadingyut Festival.

It happens every year in October and is celebrated in every town and happens at home and on the streets.

The festival lasts three days.

During the Thadingyut Festival, some people go to temples and pay homage to the Buddha. Others visit their parents' and their relatives' homes to pay the homage to elders. When children pay homage to elders, they often receive pocket money or snacks.

Another special thing of the festival is lighting candles in houses and streets. Young people and children also enjoy playing with fireworks and firecrackers.

My favorite things are watching fireworks and lighting candles. I enjoy decorating the front of my house with candles. It makes me feel happy and relaxed.

Mostly we celebrate with homemade with coconut rice and chicken curry, chicken bones soup with cabbages, carrots and mango salad .Desserts as Myanmar snacks like Shwe Kyi and Sa Nwin Ma Kin .

I am very happy, warm  and delighted at those times.

Lighting candles and lanterns ,launching fire works are always remarkable moments for my children and me.

So every year Thadingyunt is full of fun and memorable events .

Thadingyut is the lighting festival in Myanmar.It's in October.It falls on the Full Moon day of Thadingyut.It's the 7th month in the Myanmar calendar.That day was marked and celebrated by the Buddhists as " Abidhamma Day".It's transition from the rainy season to the cold season.The countryside is green with paddy fields and lotus flowers.I really like seasonal lotuses.

During Thadingyut Festival, families light up their homes and streets with candles, oil lamps and string lights.In that day, a thousand oil lamps were also offer at the pogodas.We pay homages to our parents, grandparent, teachers and elders. In return, they give some pocket money for their enjoyment of the Thadingyut festival.When my students come to pay respect, I give them some pocket money if I can, and offer them good wishes.l like watching fireworks and sparkler.At the end of Buddhist Lent, we go to the monastery and observe precepts.We can also offer alms to monks, burn incense, light candles and pray at the pogoda.Thadigyut is a time for happiness, unity and giving thanks.I think Thadingyut is the second biggest festival in Myanmar.I rally like this festival.

There are 12 seasonal festivals in Myanmar but especially one of the festival hold many memory for me and that is Thadingyut also known as The Lighting Festival of Myanmar. It held in the seventh months around the full moon and the celebrations also last for three days.Thadingyut festival is the celebration to welcome the Buddha’s descent from the heaven after he preach abhidhamma to his mother on heaven.We celebrate Thadingyut to welcome Buddha and his discipline by lighting oil lamp or candles in the streets, houses and public buildings.I still remember me and brother almost burn ourself with oil lamp but luckily My brother's dad arrived and help us My favourite part about Thadingyut is Zat Pwes.We get to watch Zat Pwes and stage shows on most of the streets around the country.It was really fun.My whole family bring mat and many snack to enjoy while watching Zat Pwes.Some people also like to play with firecrackers and fire balloons.During the festival days,Buddhists usually go to pagoda and pay respect to elders and monks.

Traditionally,younger siblings pay homage to their older siblings. In return, the elder ones wish good luck for them and give them some pocket money.I used to be youngest so I still remembered about how I get the most pocket money and I use that to buy snacks and firecrackers. That all about my favourite festival.Thanks you for reading.

It lasts for 5-6 days and happens in April.

Every year,We celebrate as New Year festival .I played with water with friends on the side of the street.I really enjoy dancing,singing while playing with water.It is so much fun.We make traditional foods and special food is Mont Lone Yay Paw.The elderly take virtue by going to Temples and Pagodas.We wash the dirty of old year by playing with water and happily transition to the Nwe Year.I think anyone who likes to play with water will really enjoy this festival.This is one of my happinest festivals every year.

In many cities all over the world, fireworks displays as soon as the clock passes midnight on 31 December. I live in Myanmar,at South of East Asia. This day, I sometimes go countdown music show with my friends some years and we count down last minute and  shout aloud  “Happy New Year” on 31th ’s midnight.

On January 1, the day’s start of the new year, my family goes to monestry or pagoda  and  merits  and alms to monks and nuns. We make some snakes and some traditional foods and then share to our neighbours. Every end of the year,  I make reflection on the past year and make  a great plan , what to do ,how to do is from the start of this year. I think it is a great habit. Finally , I love New Year Festival because of fun, relationship ,relax , peaceful things!
