The Kheun Kheun Festival is a traditional celebration held in Laos, typically during the full moon of the 12th lunar month. This vibrant festival marks the end of the rice harvest and is a time for communities to come together in gratitude for the year's bounty. During the festival, locals participate in various activities, including traditional dances, music performances, and the preparation of special foods. People also create beautiful lanterns and release them into the sky, symbolizing the letting go of misfortunes and welcoming good luck for the coming year.
