Five years ago, I attended a very big festival in Ha Noi. It's called 1000th Anniversary of Thang Long - Ha Noi Festival. There are a lot of activities in this festival such as fireworks display, military parade, music performances, ect. It was organized very splendidly because the organizers are the Viet Nam government. Millions of people came to Ha Noi to participate in this great festival. It was held for ten days from October 1st 2015 to October 10th 2015.1 saw lots of fireworks, parties, parades during these days. It was interesting. I took so many pictures on this festival because there were plenty of beautiful scenes. We organized this great festival to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Thang Long - Ha Noi.
Last year, I attended a festival that kids all love is Halloween. On this day people dress up as fantasy characters like witches, ghosts, etc. Children usually go to the house and say "Trick or treat?" and the host will give them candy otherwise they will throw eggs. That day also tell ghost stories everyone is scared and scared. That day I was very happy and this will be a memorable festival.
Two months ago, I went to the village festival. It was held at the communal house's yard by villager. Everyvillager got up early and went to the festival. There were a lot of interesting activities such as traditonal games, singing folk songs,...but I like rope-pulling competitions best because it was funny. We had a big party with a lot of foods and drinks. This festival was interesting. I hope I can come here next year.
Tet is a national and family festival . It is an occasion for every Vietnamese to have a good time while thinking about the last year and the next year . At Tet , spring fairs are organized, streets and public buildings are brightly decorated and almost all shops are crowded with people shopping for Tet . At home, every is tidied, special food is cooked, offerings of food, fresh water, flowers and betel are made on the family altar with burning joss-sticks scenting the air. First-footing is made when the lucky visitor comes and children are given lucky money wrapped in a red tiny envelope. Tet is also a time for people and love. During Tet, children often behave well and friends, relatives and neighbors give each other best wishes for the new year

My family and I attended the Buffalo – fighting Festival in Do Son last year. This festival is held every year, on August 9th according to Lunar calendar. The Buffalo – fighting Festival is held to remember the merits of gods, maintain the village discipline, to play for the prosperity and happiness for the local people. People played drum, danced and watched the buffalos. The drum sound and the scream of people urge the buffalo to play in a fierce way. Many buffalo owners, local people and tourists came to the festival. The festival was really fascinating and amazing.
Althoung there are a lot of festival; I like Tet holiday best. Firstly, Tet is a traditional, joyful and important for Vietnamese people. It is time for families to clean and decorate their houses and enjoy special foods such as sticky rice cakes, sweets, spring rolls,so on. Secondly, Tet is a good chance for us to spend time with families, friends and relatives. During Tet, we have more time to visit grandparents, teachers,... and give them best wishes. Thirdly, Tet is time for relaxing. At Tet, we do not go to school. Children can take part in traditrional games and get lucky money.Therefore, Tet is wonderful.
Have a good day!
Althoung there are a lot of festivals, my favourite one is La Tomatina en Reno. It is celebrated in Spain. It is held con the Wednesday of August every year. In the morning, many people tried to climb up the pole to get the ham. At 11 a.m, a jet of water come from the water cannos and chaos began. Bags of tomatoes from trucks were thrown to the crowds, and we started throwing tomatoes at one another. We all had to wear goggles to protect our eyes. After one hour, we saw another jet of water and stopped throwing. The whole town square was red with rivers of tomato juice. Finally, we tried tomato Paella, a traditional Spanish rice dish. Together with local people and tourists, we enjoyed the good food and drinks. In short, I like La Tomatina en Reno very much. I wish I would to attend La Tomatina en Reno in the future
In 2014, I had chance to visit Lim Festival, a traditional festival in Vietnam where the famous Quan Ho folk songs are performed. This special festival was held on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month by local residents in Lim village, Bac Ninh province, Vietnam. Coming here on the festive days, I and thousands of visitors enjoyed the singing of traditional love duets (Quan Ho fork songs) performed by “lien anh” and “lien chi” (male and female Quan Ho singers) behind Lim pagoda, in Lim hill and on dragon boats on Lim rivers. Those singers wore traditional costumes and sang songs in pairs. There were strict rules for their performance in which the singers had to not only react quickly but also have a good understanding of traditional tunes as well as the historical and cultural features of the songs. Like other religious festivals, the Lim Festival went through all ritual stages, from the procession to the worshipping ceremony and other activities. I also watched a weaving competition among the village girls who wove and sang Quan Ho simultaneously. Other traditional games such as human chess-playing, cockfighting contest, rice-cooking contest, tug of war and wrestling were also held. Visiting this festival is a memorable experience to me.

Vào năm 2014, tôi có cơ hội đến thăm Lim Festival, một lễ hội truyền thống ở Việt Nam nơi trình diễn các bài hát dân gian Quan Hồ nổi tiếng. Lễ hội đặc biệt này được tổ chức vào ngày mười ba tháng giêng âm lịch của người dân địa phương tại làng Lim, tỉnh Bắc Ninh, Việt Nam. Đến đây vào những ngày lễ hội, tôi và hàng ngàn du khách thích ca hát những bản song ca tình yêu truyền thống (bài hát ngã ba Quan Hồ) được biểu diễn bởi nhạc lien anh và và lien chiiêu (ca sĩ Quan Hồ nam) đồi và trên thuyền rồng trên sông Lim. Những ca sĩ đó mặc trang phục truyền thống và hát những bài hát theo cặp. Có những quy tắc nghiêm ngặt cho màn trình diễn của họ, trong đó các ca sĩ không chỉ phải phản ứng nhanh mà còn hiểu rõ về giai điệu truyền thống cũng như các đặc điểm lịch sử và văn hóa của các bài hát. Giống như các lễ hội tôn giáo khác, Lễ hội Lim đã trải qua tất cả các giai đoạn nghi lễ, từ lễ rước đến lễ cúng và các hoạt động khác. Tôi cũng đã xem một cuộc thi dệt giữa các cô gái làng, những người đã hát và hát Quan Hồ cùng một lúc. Các trò chơi truyền thống khác như chơi cờ người, thi đấu đá gà, thi nấu cơm, kéo co và đấu vật cũng được tổ chức. Đến thăm lễ hội này là một trải nghiệm đáng nhớ với tôi.
