Karnival Pesta Tanglung 2010





Date: 18th Sept 2010

Time: 6pm onward

Venue: Pusat Perniagaan Maju Utara, Kampung Baru, Bukit Mertajam


The Mid Autumn Festival commonly known in Malaysia as the Lantern and Moon Cake Festival is celebrated widely by everyone in our multi racial society. Everyone gets to enjoy moon cakes, some made from lard and the halal moon cakes made from vegetable oil.

Dating back 3,000 years to China's Zhou Dynasty, this moon gazing and lantern parading are celebrated in honour of Chang Er, the beautiful wife of tyrannical ruler and archer Hou Yi. Her boldness in saving the villagers by drinking the elixir of life has made her a legend to be remembered through all generation.

It is a time for the family members and friends to gather around to glaze and admire the full moon and at the same time savouring moon cakes, mini yams, water caltrops, cracking ground nuts, peeling pomeloes fruit and sipping Chinese tea.

There will be a state level Lantern Festival celebration in Bukit Mertajam on 18th Sept 2010. The highlight of the event is the parade which will start at 6pm from Jit Sin Independent School and ends at Pusat Perniagaan Maju Utara, Kampung Baru.

Follow up Astro superstars' performance at the main stage at from 8pm onwards.
