The Chinese Moon Festival, which is also known as the Mid-Autumn
Festival, is a traditional Chinese Celebration that dates
back to the Tang Dynasty. It is celebrated every year on the
15th day of the 8th lunar month in the Chinese calendar when
the moon is at its fullest and brightest of the year.
Traditionally, it is a family holiday, when families gather
to watch the full moon rise and enjoy pastries made
specifically for the event called “moon cakes”. These small
cakes along with hot tea will be available for purchase
during the festival.
