Mid-Autumn Festival
October 1, 2020

On October 1st, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese communities, as well as other Asian communities around the world celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. While this festival is also known as the Moon Festival, Lantern Festival, or Mooncake Festival, it celebrates the harvest, and give thanks for the year’s successes.

The Mid-Autumn festival is celebrated under a bright full moon, families and loved ones get together, light colorful lanterns, share traditional mooncakes, exchange greetings and gifts, and admire the spectacular beauty of the full moon. This year the celebration will be a little different, like many things, due to COVID-19 but it is my sincere hope in the future we can once again join to celebrate.
