三月三 (sān yuè sān) is the major festival for the Zhuang ethnic minority, most of whom live here in Guangxi. It takes place on the third day of the third month of the traditional Chinese -solar-lunar calendar and is a public holiday here.

 

To mark the occasion, Liuzhou held a "long table" lunch for 2,000 people, featuring the local speciality - snails, particularly 螺蛳粉 (luosifen) snail noodles. The tables were arranged in a huge circle surrounding the Li Ning Sports stadium, an Olympic sized venue. The locals dressed up in their glad rags.

Here are a few images from the event, basically in random order.
