Festivals in july

I%26#39;m about to plan a trip to Myanmar in July 2008. I have read there are some festivals in july, but can%26#39;t find any detailed information about the festivals, only name and time. Someone who know anything about the fetivals in detail, where they are, which to recommend? The areas I think I will go for are Yangon, Inle Lake, Bagan, Mandalay and mabe a beach along the westcost somewhere. My planning is just started...so i don%26#39;t know yet.

Festivals in july

They seem to have left these of though:

Full moon day of Waso July 18 (I think) and Martyrs Day... July 19

Yes, I think there was forgotten some in july, like

Waso Fullmoon Day (15 Jul) - Venue - the whole country,

Fish Feeding Ceremony (13 Jul - 10 Oct) - Venue - Pwinphyu, near Magwe

Martyr%26#39;s Day (19 Jul) - Venue - the whole country

Thihoshin Pagoda Festival (7 Jun - 22 Jul)

Venue - Pakkoku

Shinbinsagyo Pagoda Ceremony (12 Jul - 13 Jul)

Venue - Salay

Perhaps these festivals are not worth to mention...? Is it possible to get som detailed information about it?

July is during the wet or ';green'; season....

There is not a whole lot of information on-line about these festivals. If I find anything further, I will post it.

Thanks a lot, I will continue searching for a while:)

Waso Fullmoon Day (15 Jul) - Venue - the whole country,

The monks start their fasting day for 3 months.They can%26#39;t go overnight at other place. A lot of people go to pagoda, monastery and offer robes to monks . For Buddhist , believe that on that day Buddha went to heaven for his mother and return back after 3 months.

In old days, the next day of Waso full moon day , people in village , go around to forest or fields to look for flowers ( we call it ';waso pan';)pick it up and offer to god.

Fish Feeding Ceremony (13 Jul - 10 Oct) - Venue - Pwinphyu, near Magwe.

During this time, no one know that how the big fishes come to the pagoda at that time. (Properly they come up for laying eggs or something) but local people see this fishes once a year only and so they feed the fishes.

Martyr%26#39;s Day (19 Jul) - Venue - the whole country

Nothing to see. on 1947 , July 19 , Daw Aung Sun Sui Kyi%26#39;s Father , national hero of Aung Sun and group got assassinated on that day.

Thihoshin Pagoda Festival (7 Jun - 22 Jul)

Venue - Pakkoku

Shinbinsagyo Pagoda Ceremony (12 Jul - 13 Jul)

Venue - Salay

That two are just simple pagoda festival .You can observe way of Myanmar village people life but don%26#39;t wast your time unless you passing by.
