In 2025, the Chu-Prime Minister’s Festival (Full Moon on the Moon Calendar) will fall on Monday, October 6th of the calendar. This is a long and outstanding traditional festival with Asian culture, especially in Vietnam, with the biggest moonlight of the year being linked to the joys of members, family reunions and young laughter.
Meaning of mid-term – utumn
The ancient mid-term festival has been considered a friendship and a “New Year’s” holiday. On this occasion, children picked up the lights, destroyed the moon, danced, and played strangely, and adults thought this was a family reunion, sending affection through a box of moon cakes, a green tea cup next to the yellow moon. The image of the full moon symbolizes thriving union members and reminds us of the tradition of unity of all Vietnamese families.
Special features of the mid-2025 festival
Unlike years ago, the 2025 mid-Autumn Festival was quite late according to the solar calendar (it will fall in early October). This is when the weather is noticeably autumn. It’s a cool, sunny evening, perfect for outdoor play. The autumn moonlight is also bright and bright, and it promises to bring a sparkling night filled with colours.
This year, many regions, especially big cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An and Da Nang, have plans to host Lanterns, Central-Automatic Markets, and Lan-Su-Dragon Dance Festival. Visitors and people will be more likely to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere as they continue not only on full moon nights but also for a week.

Mid-term in modern life – Prime Minister’s Festival
Society changes rapidly, but the Mid-Aumn Festival holds a special position in the hearts of Vietnamese people. In addition to traditional values, today’s Central Prime Minister Festival is also an opportunity for businesses to devote their love to their customers, friends and young people to create new activities. Check in with Lantern Street, organize outdoor music nights and make handmade moon cakes…
The mid-2025 festival will fall on Monday, October 6th – the first day of the week, but it is certainly not to lose the vibe of reunion and excitement. In modern life, this is still a beautiful silence to look at the autumn sky, take memories of childhood, go back to family, see the full moon, and return to family.
