About Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival honours the full harvest moon as a symbol of peace, prosperity and togetherness — all good things to celebrate! It occurs on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month which happens sometime between mid September and early October. This is when the moon is at its fullest after the autumnal equinox. It is a popular, happy time of year when families gather to share food, admire the full moon, light lanterns and eat mooncakes.
