SUMMARY:Boun Bang Fai (Rocket Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Boun Bang Fai is festival held to call for rain and celebrate fertility. The date of the festival is fixed by each province. During the festival\, there are a variety of fun activities\, particularly a traditional dance which is performed in a circle. Men will wear traditional Lao women’s clothes and cosmetics as people tie the clothes on each other. In the afternoon\, people take artificial elephant and horses walking around the host village. Afterwards\, people gather in the field on the outskirts of village and towns to launch self-made firework rocket. The village that is able to launch its rocket the highest up in the sky is the winner. The rocket competition is held in order to demonstrate appreciation to “Payathaen” (god Of Sky) who provides people with the rains necessary for agriculture. Throughout the celebrations\, hosts prepare a variety of traditional food for their guests.
