that dates back to the Tang Dynasty. It is celebrated every
year 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. Traditionally, it is a family holiday, when
families gather to watch the full moon rise and enjoy
pastries made specifically for the event called “moon
cakes”. These small cakes along with hot tea will be
available for purchase during the festival.
