The festival coincides with the October full moon and therefore falls on different days each year.
This year the October full moon is on October 12 (the date of the Wax castle parade).
Dates for the festival are October 8 through 12.
Sakon Nakhon Royal Trophy Longboat Races 2011 are held during the first two days of the festival.
A food fair, flower arrangement competitions, a sound and light show are some of the activities that lead up to the main event, the wax castle parade.
A complete schedule is generally available at all hotels in the area
My post of last years parade can be found at Sakon Wax Castle Parade 2010
If you arrive early a visit to local temples offers a great view of the construction of these Wax palaces.
