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.

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:Film Festival in Luang Prabang
DESCRIPTION:The UNESCO Heritage town of Luang Prabang in Laos will once again host a film festival\, previously known as the Luang Prabang Film Festival (LPFF). \nWith a rich history of connecting regional filmmakers\, supporting the Lao domestic film industry\, and presenting an annual free festival\, LPFF has been a force in the region for more than 12 years. \nOrganizers have recently acquiesced to a name change in order to continue to produce this year’s event\, scheduled for 8 – 11 December\, and will move forward using only the iconic blue chair to identify the festival. \nAs always\, official selections for the annual program were made by filmmakers and critics from across Southeast Asia and represent a curated selection of the finest contemporary films from their respective countries. By working with talented curators with an inside understanding of their communities’ film scenes\, LPFF annually presents a unique program that consistently delivers some of the strongest voices from across the region. \nPresenting Partners of the festival this year include Lao Telecom\, The Asia Foundation\, M Money\, and Beerlao; the event is produced in collaboration with the Luang Prabang Department of Culture\, Information\, and Tourism. Longtime partners Avani+ Luang Prabang and Sofitel Luang Prabang are supporting the event again\, as well. \nOf special interest this year is a pair of films with roots in the LPFF Talent Lab — both Martika Ramirez Escobar and Kavich Neang joined the inaugural lab in 2016\, delivered in conjunction with the erstwhile Tribeca Film Institute. This year sees their finished projects\, Leonor Will Never Die and White Building\, respectively\, on screens in Luang Prabang. \nAnd a pair of Lao productions will premiere at the festival this year — Sonepasith Phanphila’s Absence of Sound\, made in Luang Prabang itself\, and Phanumad Disattha’s short film\, Fly Sandy Fly\, presented by T Plus during the festival’s opening ceremony\, which starts at 6 pm on 8 December. \nAs always\, all screenings are free and open to the public.

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.
