For the last nine years, the Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC), the Chicago Park District, The Nature Conservancy, and the Field Museum have partnered together as the Roots & Routes Initiative to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Burnham Wildlife Corridor on the lakefront.

This festival is part of Journey Chicago, a month-long festival of cross-cultural events at neighborhood and suburban cultural heritage institutions, featuring several Members of the Chicago Cultural Alliance.
