Boun Awk Pansa (ບຸນອອກພັນສາ) is a special Lao Buddhist celebration marking the end of the three-month Buddhist Lent, or Khao Phansa. It is a time for making merit, offering food and necessities to monks, listening to the Dhamma, and expressing gratitude and respect.

Families and communities come together to celebrate with almsgiving, candlelight ceremonies, traditional foods, music, and cultural activities. Boun Awk Pansa is also a time of reflection—celebrating spiritual growth, compassion, generosity, and the continuation of Buddhist traditions within the Lao community.
