Festivals or local holidays in August.
Posted: Sat May 2, 2009 04:51 AM UTC
Hi all,
As I am planning our trip, I wanted to learn if there are any festivals or holidays in the month of Aug. in this city. I think it would be fun and more colorful to be in a city in a festival (some of my best experiences have been stumbling into a parade in a small city) and some times its downright bad timing to be in others on a particular national or local holidays.

Could you enlighten me if there are such days in August, both a must be there and must be avoided. Thank you so much!
Ken

Unfortunately, no any festival in August Beijing. Unless you change your schedule to October. The Mid-autumn-festival 2009 is on Oct.3, and the National Day is Oct. 1, the 60 anniversary celebration of National Day will hold a great parade at Tiananmen Square.

It's 60 years celebration, it will be a fantastic time to be there. Though, it will also be extrememly crowded.

That sounds amazing but unfortunately we cannot go in Oct.

I'm really bummed to miss that celebration since I LOVE fireworks and really want to go when there is a chance to see Chinese fireworks. =(

Thank you both!
