Festivals and Major Events

Myanmar is a Land of Festivals: a festival for every month of the year.
Majority of the festivals are cultural and religious. Most are celebrated nation- wide while a few are distinctly regional.
The dates of the festivals and special events are determined by the
Lunar Calendar.
