SUMMARY:Boun Ork Phansa (The end of buddhist lent)
DESCRIPTION:Boun Ork Phansa is the last day of Buddhist Lent. It occurs on the 15th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar. In the morning\, donations and offering are made at temples around the country. In the evening candlelight processions are held around the temples while hundreds around of colorful floats decorated with flowers\, incense and candles are set adrift down and rivers giving thanks to the river spirit (Lai Heua Fai). They are said to pay respect to the Buddha and to thank the mother of rivers for providing water for our lives as well as to ask for blessing and to float the bad luck for the past year away\, enabling the good luck to flow in. Villagers who live far from rivers set up model boat made of banana stems and decorated with flowers and candlelight\, while other simply light up some candles in front of their houses and do their prayer\, wishing for good luck. This colorful ritual has been carried on by Lao people for thousands of years.

SUMMARY:Lhai Heua Fai\, Festival of the Boats of Light in Luang Prabang Province
DESCRIPTION:Boun Lai Heua Fai is a festival for the Phanang Naga which is held during Boun Xouang Heua in order to bring good luck. Each village in many provinces makes and decorates a boat. The boats are then paraded through the town\, at night they are lunched onto the river and ceremoniously set on fire as offerings to spirits. This festival involves floating the ritual flowers onto the river\, to send of bad luck and give thanks to the water spirits. When holding boat race\, people ritually reclaim the land from the Naga\, chasing them out from fields and streams and back into the Mekong River.

SUMMARY:That Luang Festival and Trade Fair in Vientiane Capital
DESCRIPTION:Boun Pha That Luang is the most meaningful festival in Vientiane Capital as well as in the Lao PDR. It is held over three to seven days during the full moon of the twenty-fifth lunar month (November\, but sometimes it is at the end of October). The festival starts with a colorful candlelight wax castle (Phasat Pheung) procession which starts the evening before at Vat Simeuang. The procession continues to the next afternoon from Vat Simeuang to Pha That Luang. People carry flowers\, candles\, incense and wax castles decorated with flowers and bank notes. People wear their best clothes for this procession and there is also a parade of the men and women dressed in various Loa ethnic costumes who dance and play traditional music and songs while approaching the stupa. The s-called wax castles have been a part of Lao lifestyle for many years\, and bringing one to Pha that Luang on this occasion is believed to bring considerable merit. \nThe following morning\, a huge crowd assembles at dawn at Pha That Luang to give alms to hundreds of monks who come here from around the country\, and to play homage to the stupa. In the afternoon\, everyone will gather on the esplanade for the traditional game of Ti Khee\, which is played with a ball and long curved stick\, resembling a game of hockey. The festival draws to close under a full moon when people from all over Laos will crowd around Pha That Luang for one last candlelight procession. There are also fire work displays to make the end of the celebration. During the Pha That Luang stupa festival\, there are trade fairs\, concerts and fun fairs held.

SUMMARY:Lao National Day
DESCRIPTION:This celebrates the 1975 victory of the proletariat over the monarchy with parades\, speeches\, etc. Lao national and communist hammer and sickle flags are flown all over the country. Celebration is mandatory\, hence poorer communities postpone some of the traditional Ok Phansa activities usually practiced roughly a month earlier-until National Day\, thus saving themselves considerable expense.
