THE Ayeyawady Region government plans to hold the Traditional Myanmar Pathein Parasol and Natural Handicrafts Festival in Pathein, Ayeyawady Region, in December.
The traditional Pathein parasol is an iconic symbol of Ayeyawady Region and an important part of Myanmar’s traditional handicrafts and cultural heritage. The festival aims to promote the sustainable development of the Pathein parasol industry and local handicrafts.
To attract public interest, demonstrations of the traditional processes involved in making Pathein parasols and other handicrafts will be held. A flower festival will also be organised, featuring a variety of seasonal flowers planted and arranged in an orderly manner.
In addition, arrangements are being made to ensure a reliable electricity supply throughout the festival grounds, install electrical lines for the illuminated pavilions and provide adequate parking facilities for visitors.
