full moon festival
Lunar harvest holiday
Full Moon Festival is another name for the Mid-Autumn Festival, a harvest celebration observed in China, Vietnam, and other East Asian countries on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is fullest.
Families gather to eat mooncakes, light lanterns, and admire the moon.
The festival emphasizes reunion and gratitude: We're hosting a Full Moon Festival party this year.
