The traditional food of this festival is the moon- cake. Children are often eager to welcome this festival because they are usually presented toys, masks as well as lights. During this festival, children carry beautiful lanterns, sing and parade on the streets. Traditional dances like the unicorn or lion are performed. The unicorn is symbol of luck and prosperity for everybody. The festival is related to the legend of Cuoi, whose wife accidentally urinated on a sacred banyan tree, taking him with it to the Moon. Every year, on the mid-autumn festival, children light lanterns and participate in a procession to show Cuoi the way to Earth.
