The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden will host a Mid-Autumn Moon Festival to celebrate the second biggest event in the Chinese calendar. We would like to invite every sector of our multicultural community to join us for a variety of family-oriented activities and Chinese style celebrations. The 1000-year-old tradition of Mid-Autumn Moon Festival celebrates the moon as a deity of utmost reverence. In Chinese culture, the roundness of the full moon symbolizes togetherness, harmony, and family unity. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar when the moon appears the largest and brightest, Chinese families around the world gather to celebrate the end of a harvest season known; this is known as the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. This ancient tradition allows time for the family to unite in a perfect circle like the moon: unbreakable, never-ending, and harmonious. In other parts of Asia such as India and Korea, a similar harvest festival time is also celebrated.
