THE Yegyaw Thadingyut Fun­fair, one of the busiest festivals in Yangon, is being held until 7 October, and has been a bus­tling event since the festival began.

From 1 to 7 October, dur­ing Thadingyut holidays, the Yegyaw Festival is taking place on Yegyaw and Bogyoke streets in Pazundaung Town­ship, Yangon.

“The Yegyaw Funfair has been packed with people since 1 October, when it start­ed. Every day, after 6 pm, the streets were very busy. People had to push one another to move through the crowds. Not only Pazundaung locals but also those from other Yangon townships came and enjoyed,” said one of the visitors.

The festival features var­ious shops selling food, con­sumer goods, toys, clothes and cosmetics, as well as fun games for the young, such as merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, pirate boats and entertain­ment.

After a hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic, the fes­tival was resumed in 2024, and this year it commenced on 1 October in the pre-Thadingyut period. — MT/ZN
