Mid-Autumn Festival (Mooncake Festival): Celebrations, Greetings, Origins…

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival. It traditionally falls on the 15^th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, which is in September or early October on the Gregorian calendar.

In 2021, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 21^st (Tuesday). Chinese people have a 3-day public holiday from September 19^th to 21^st.

A “mid-autumn festival” is also celebrated in many other Asian communities besides China. In China, it's a reunion time for families, just like Thanksgiving, while in Vietnam, it's more like a children's day. 

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important festival in China after Chinese New Year. Chinese people celebrate it by gathering for dinners, worshiping the moon, lighting paper lanterns, eating mooncakes, etc.

Please kindly note that we will have the Middle Autumn Holiday from 19th, September to 21th, September. sorry for any inconvenience cased by this.

Season's greetings and sincere wishes for a bright and happy Mid-autumn day！
