Interesting and colorful festival.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Hi LTW........Wonderful picture and the information that you gave peaked my interest and I will surely try to get more information on the festival. If you decide to do a blog on it with more information I would certainly like to read it.

Creative Ideas.

Sorry, Bright Smile,
I don't know much about the festival except that it is celebrated in Malaysia and Singapore, and probably elsewhere in Asia, every year by the hawkers and stall owners. It is funded by contributuions from the owners in each market or food court.
