A local version of the torch festival, held in this relatively remote and grubby place in Yongsheng county.
Each lunar 24 June is the traditional Pancake Festival of the Taliu people who is a branch of the Yi ethnic group living in Yongsheng County. The festival will last for three days and people will make glutinous pancakes for the ancestor worshiping ceremony. http://en.ynta.gov.cn/Item/4451.aspx see also http://www.laoshay.com/info/info/info-1/taliu.html
