How are traditional cultural festivals celebrated around you?

Entering the month of Lunar New Year, for a month or even longer, people are preparing for the Spring Festival, and this preparation process is even more meaningful than the New Year itself. The first festival is the first day of the Lunar New Year when beans are fried, or popcorn can be popped. Farmers have their own home fried beans to eat, there are masters with the traditional popcorn equipment to go down the street for people to eat popcorn, bang, a small bowl of corn kernels will be popped into a large bag of popcorn, enough for a family to eat a beautiful meal. The moral is to eat fried beans, the whole family will be rich in the future. The second festival is to drink Laba congee on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Most peasants boil very thick congee in their own homes to drink, with ingredients such as millet, peanuts, all kinds of grains and beans, etc. Some rich people will also go to the temple to cook congee for the people who come to eat. It is also said to be a traditional festival to worship ancestors and pray for a good harvest. The third festival is the New Year on the 23rd day of the Lunar New Year. On this day, to send Zaowang up to heaven, each family will offer some candies on the stove, and we also have "vexed melon day" made of barley, so that Zaowang will go up to heaven to say good things and come back with good luck. Then until the morning of the first day of the first month of the year, each family will firecrackers to worship the gods and goddesses to invite back.
