One special event in my country is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It takes place in autumn, and people usually celebrate it with family. There are colourful lanterns everywhere. Children wear masks, and they carry lanterns in the streets. People prepare special mooncakes because they are traditional. My favourite part is the lion dance, but the streets are often crowded. I love this festival because families gather happily together. Children are happy, and parents enjoy the evening too.
