When is Luoding Fairy Festival in Yunfu City?

Luoding has long been a settlement of ethnic minorities, and it still retains the heritage of many ethnic minorities. Luoding has folk festivals such as March 3rd, April 8th and July 7th. The most important festival of Miao nationality in a year. It is said that the ancestors of Miao people once lived in Ge Sang (near Guiyang), where the land was fertile and the people had plenty of food and clothing. Later, the rulers sent troops to occupy their homes. Yanu, the leader of the Miao nationality, led the Miao people to resist. He is brave, strong, resourceful and skilled, but he is outnumbered. Yanu died heroically on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, and his body was buried near the fountain in Guiyang city. Miao people were forced to move to Pobagou. Nine years later, Zu Delong fought back and died. This day is also the eighth day of April in the summer calendar. In order to remember their hometown and heroic ancestors, Miao people gather in front of the fountain every year on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. Over time, it has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a traditional festival for the Miao people. On this day, people gathered near Guiyang Fountain to play with dragon lanterns, lions, lusheng and sing folk songs as a memorial.
