Festivals & Events in Myanmar

Myanmar is also well-known as a country of festivals because we have festivals every month relate to religion.  There are also many festivals and events that are specific to particular villages or temples. Buddhist festivals fall all year round in Myanmar and usually coincide with the full moon.

Temple and pagoda festivals, lasting a week or longer, are alike of western funfairs, with entertainers, magicians, puppeteers, musicians, clairvoyants, healers, and patent medicine purveyors moving from one place to the next bringing excitement, colour, and a much-earned break to the lives of local people.
