The Esplanade was beautifully lighted up during the Mid Autumn Festival with the Pesta Tanglung featuring many cultural events, performances and fun-filled activities. Many people turned up for the outdoor event despite the rain which did not damper the festivity mood.
The event was organized by the Penang State Tourism Development, Culture, Arts & Heritage.
The celebration included Chinese cultural groups performing the dragon and lion dance backed by a twenty-four drum troupe.
These graceful ladies melted out a traditional fan dance to the cheering audience…..
…while the young and vibrant did a fast number.
Displayed of Chinese red lanterns which lighted and beautify up the place.
Everyone was having a great time at this Pesta despite the thick clouds preventing the gazing of the full moon.
Young children and even adults gleefully carrying colorful paper lanterns of all shapes and sizes. It’s great to see the continuation of this tradition.
Beautiful light and color of the lantern!

Very nice pics. You capture the festive mood really well.
It would be a perfect outing and celebration if it did not rain on that night. Still everyone was having a great time too.
