The Moon Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is
a traditional holiday celebrated in China and other Asian
countries, dating to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). It's
celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month in the
Chinese calendar when the moon is at its fullest and
brightest of the year. It's a family holiday much like
Thanksgiving in the United States. Families gather to watch
the full moon rise and enjoy pastries made specifically for
the event called “moon cakes.” Take part in this special
evening including Chinese storytelling, traditional songs,
and crafts and games. Try a traditional mooncake and view
the moon through a high-powered telescope, courtesy of the
Riverside Astronomical Society. For more information about Heritage
