The Seven Sisters Festival falls on the seventh day of the seventh Chinese lunar month and has a deep meaning for unmarried women. It celebrates the day when the legendary Heavenly Weaver meets her lover, a cowherd, by crossing a bridge of birds spanning the Milky Way. Single girls pray for good husbands, placing their best pieces of weaving and sewing on the family altar, along with seven pieces of fruit, vegetables, and sweets. They hope to communicate with the Seven Sisters or with the Weaver herself.
