On the Thadingyut Full Moon Day, Buddhist followers gathered at pagodas and stupas across Myanmar to take part in religious rituals. Worshippers made offerings of flowers, oil lamps, alms, and water while observing precepts and meditating in devotion. In Nay Pyi Taw, large crowds visited sites such as Letloktaung, Shwenanthwin, Shwelwantaung, and Nayyaungpya Inn pagodas in Dekkhinathiri, Lewe, Pyinmana, and Ottarathiri townships. Many observed the Eight Precepts while performing acts of merit and generosity.

A ceremony took place at Buddha Park in Dekkhinathiri Township, where 9,000 oil lamps were lit in front of the Maravijaya Buddha Image. The Nay Pyi Taw Council organized the event, which drew a large crowd and featured hot-air balloon releases. Morning rituals also took place at Uppatasanti Pagoda, with a strong turnout from nearby areas. Evening ceremonies there continued with oil lamp offerings.

Public spaces such as Ocean Super Centre, Junction Centre, and the Nay Pyi Taw Wholesale Market were busy with holiday shoppers. Mingala Lake Park, the Fountain Garden, the National Landmarks Garden, and the Zoological Gardens experienced high visitor numbers. The Fountain Garden also hosted the Thadingyut Music Concert and Night Market. Attendees enjoyed local food and music performances by popular artists, DJs, and bands.
