One of China’s most important holidays, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the full moon, fall harvest, and the moon goddess. Traditions include lanterns to light a path to prosperity and good fortune, eating mooncakes, and gathering with family and friends. Our day-to-night festivities include artist-led paper lantern-making, storytelling of traditional Chinese tales, mooncake samples, moon-inspired Chinese Qigong, moon and stars viewing, a lantern display, and our first-ever golden hour picnic. We encourage you to bring an extra special moveable feast as awards will be given.
