Celebrating Mid-Autumn festival with dear asia london
Mooncakes, traditional tea and curated hands-on crafts like lantern making, bamboo weaving and many more – as a bespoke event at your office, or join one of our public events.
one Full Moon, Many ESEA Celebrations
The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Moon Festival, is a significant Asian holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, typically in September or October.
Across East and Southeast Asia, few festivals bring people together quite like the Mid-Autumn Festival. Second only to Lunar New Year in scale and significance, it’s celebrated under many different names and traditions — from mooncakes in China to Chuseok in Korea and Tsukimi in Japan — but the spirit stays the same: to celebrate lights and union under the same full moon.
“Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival is a wonderful way to connect with Asian cultures.”
