The Taungbyone Nat festival near Mandalay and the Lawkananda festival in Bagan were two of the more recent ones cancelled. To keep the tradition, the spirit and the fun of these festivals alive, MYANMORE is together with Exploration Travel creating “online festivals” with a short story about each festival, pictures from previous years and inviting people to add pictures, stories and memories of the festival.
