Mid Autumn Festival Mooncake Tasting Celebration

Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiu Jie (中秋节) in Chinese, also known as the Mooncake Festival or Moon Festival, is one of China's biggest holidays. The festival is a joyous celebration with family reunions, mooncakes and pray for the good harvest. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 17th. Though Mid-Autumn Festival is a more well-known Chinese festival, many other Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, also observe and celebrate the same festival date but with different names.

the Mid-Autumn Festival is a Chinese celebration marked by the full moon, symbolizing unity and family reunion. Families gather to share mooncakes, light colorful lanterns. You will have a chance to indulge in the traditional iconic treats, mooncake, with a spread in different flavours, symbolizing unity and togetherness. This is the time for our community to unite, welcome the new term, and share in the warmth of shared experiences.
