Phi Ta Khon is a three-day festival that combines religious traditions, local handicrafts, and a fun-loving party atmosphere. It is famous for the colorful masks worn by thousands of locals. The masks are hideous, stretched faces with bright, gaudy colors. The festival's origins are a mix of animist and Buddhist beliefs. It's supposed to recreate the legend of a party that was so much fun that everyone - living or dead - wanted to attend. The Ghost Festival is held on the weekend of the lunar calendar's sixth full moon. The main parade is usually held on Friday (dressing up as a ghost is optional), with pageants and music on Saturday and Buddhist ceremonies on Sunday.
