250 disadvantaged children join ‘Enjoying Mid-Autumn Festival’ event

From a football exhibition held during the World Cup season in Texas, to science programs delivered directly to schools, or children wearing virtual reality headsets to explore Indigenous history in the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma, USA, I have come to realize that museums are changing rapidly in the age of Industry 4.0.

On the evening of September 25, An Cuu Ward People’s Committee held the 2026 Full Moon Festival for nearly 500 children in the ward, featuring a variety of recreational activities, musical performances, a lantern procession, and a traditional Mid-Autumn feast.

From colourful lanterns and the lively beats of unicorn dance drums to gifts and scholarships presented directly to children, Youth Union organizations at all levels in Hue are bringing more joy to disadvantaged children during this Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the evening of September 23rd, Hue City Youth and Children’s Center, in coordination with other units, organized the 22nd ‘Full Moon Festival’ 2026 under the theme ‘Lanterns Lighting Up Dreams’ for disadvantaged children.

These days, the festive atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is already filling the streets. From the skillful hands of craftsmen diligently working on unicorn heads, Earth God masks, and drums… to spectacular unicorn dance performances on competition stages and in welcoming spaces at the Imperial Citadel,… all come together to create a vibrant picture of the Mid-Autumn in the Ancient Capital, preserving the unique cultural beauty and leaving lasting impressions on visitors.
