The Kedah Padi Heritage (Warisan Padi Kedah) Festival 2016 will be holding a three-day carnival from Sept 15 to 17 at Ong Chuan Hin Rice Mill and Paddy Field in Jitra, Kedah. This festival will coincide with two celebrations – the Mid-Autumn Festival (Sept 15) and Malaysia Day (Sept 16).
Three months after the padi planting season, the padi field is now bathed in a sea of golden yellow. Organisers and participants will once again come together to celebrate the harvest season with a myriad of performances which includes a dance during the full moon, and cooking and eating rice together.
