The Torch Festival is one of the most important traditional celebrations for the people of the Yi ethnic group. It typically falls on the 24th or 25th day of the sixth month of the traditional Chinese calendar (July 29 or 30 this year), but the timing of the celebrations may vary in different places. During the festival, people dress in traditional attire, light bonfires and torches, and participate in a variety of lively activities such as folk sports, singing and dancing, and enjoy a festive carnival atmosphere.
