       Vietnamese Folktale Festival in Houston
Created by the Children’s Museum of Houston, Dragons & Fairies: Exploring Viet Nam Through Folktales provides a profusion of hands-on, interactive experiences about the daily life and culture of people in Vietnam.  
 
Dragon!

Dragons & Fairies: Exploring Viet Nam Through Folktales includes five “folktale theatres”—partially enclosed structures where families view multi-media presentations of popular folktales.

Vietnamese Festival Themes in Houston including the Lantern Festival


The facades of the theatres will thematically be a part of three distinct regions.  In one, visitors explore what life is like in rural areas of Viet Nam.  In another, visitors experience the “streets” of a city and take part in preparations for Tet Trung Thu – the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.  In a third, visitors may enter a houseboat and house like those found in Viet Nam’s urban and riverside regions and take part in preparations for Tet Nguyen Dan - the Lunar New Year Festival.
