The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese people, dating back over 3,000 years to the Shang Dynasty.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighteenth month in the Chinese calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon appears at its fullest and brightest. It is the day when families get together enjoy a hearty dinner, watch the moon and eat cakes.

Activities include Chinese folk dance,a fashion show, puppet show, calligraphy, and crafts for kids.  The celebration is free and open to the public!
