During the full moon on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Chinese calendar, we will celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival in holiday from Sept 13th to Sep 15th, 2019.

This is a harvest festival that has its history dating back over 3,000 years to the Shang Dynasty when people thanked the moon god for the harvest. It is still a time of giving thanks. The Mid Autumn Festival is a time for families to spend special time together, and for prayer where people pray their specific requests.

The most popular treats that everyone eats too much of are the moon cakes and is why the festival is known to some as the Moon Cake Festival. 

Wishing us a long life to share the graceful moonlight, though thousands of miles apart!
