I have been told that the 2009 Yunnan Yi Torch Festival will be held on August 13-15. Can anyone confirm that for me?

Thanks,

The Yi Torch Festival is officially held the 24th of the 6th month on the lunar calendar. Next year that will be August 14th. Depending on where you go- Stone Forest, Dali, Xiao Liangshan, Da Liangshan, Shiping, etc- activities start a few days before and end after. You should call the tourism bureau/lu you ju of that county before going.
