When: The 15th night of the seventh lunar month in the Chinese calendar (usually in August)
Observed by Taoists, Buddhists, and Chinese folk religion believers, the Hungry Ghost Festival is believed to be the time when the gates of hell open, resulting in a mixed environment of living and deceased. Therefore, main festivities are circled around warding off the deceased. The living do this by burning incense, joss paper, candles, and fake money. They even put on performances and leave the first row empty (for the dead)!
