The God of Wealth Festival in 2024 is on July 22nd of the lunar calendar.

Fortune Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. According to legend, the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month is the day when wealth stars are enlightened.

According to the civil and military positions, it can be divided into Jun God of Wealth, Wen God of Wealth and Wu Caishen. According to the jurisdiction, it can be divided into nine roads: East, West, South, North, Central, Southwest, Northeast, Southeast and Northwest.
