Mooncake Festival
Lantern and pastry holiday
The Mooncake Festival is a Chinese harvest celebration held on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is fullest.
Families gather to admire the moon, light lanterns, and share mooncakes—round pastries symbolizing reunion and completeness.
Also called the Mid-Autumn Festival: We're hosting a Mooncake Festival dinner this year.
