The La Ba (臘八) Festival is celebrated on the eighth (ba, 八) day of the 12th month (la yue 臘月). It is one of the most important traditional festivals in Chinese culture.

As the old Chinese saying goes, "After La Ba it's time for the New Year" (過了臘八就是年), the festival is also regarded as a prelude to the Chinese Lunar New Year.

The festival was originally a day of thanks for a good harvest and sacrifice to ancestors. It also marks the day in which Sakyauni, the founder of Buddhism, reached enlightenment and became immortal.
