VO Vientiane authorities announce The 2015 That Luang Festival celebration
INTRO: The 2015 That Luang Festival celebration is set to take place from November 20-25 but the allocation of vending spaces for the various trade fairs is set to be different from the previous years.
STORY: According to a recent announcement, Vientiane authorities shall not allow local vendors to sell their products at the That Luang Esplanade, especially in the National Assembly (NA) zone. Meanwhile the authorities have prepared domestic product fairs at That Luang square behind the stupa itself.
The authorities will allow vendors to sell food and set up other product booths outside of That Luang square, while other trade fairs are now opening at the International Trade Exhibition and Convention Centre (ITECC) in Vientiane.

The That Luang Esplanade has been allocated for parade practice ahead of the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the Lao PDR early next month.
The new allocation will provide for a great festival this year and aims to reduce crowding at the festival as well as facilitate parade practice, for which the That Luang square is not large enough.

The That Luang religious festival for the last three days shall run from November 23-25 to give citizens the chance to pray at That Luang Stupa and pay their respects to the monument.
On November 24, the festivities shall commence with the wax castle procession at Vat Simeuang and end with a procession around the stupa.
The alms giving to monks shall be held on the last day of the festival, November 25, in the early morning. After that there is the ritual game of Tee Khee and other traditional activities.
