This year, celebrate the fall harvest by participating in unique mid-autumn festivities, flavors, and activities for the entire family!
Mid-autumn is one of the most celebrated holidays in China – a time for families to get together under the full moon and light up lanterns to symbolically illuminate the path to success for the rest of the year.
Join other families from all over Manhattan at this signature event of ours on September 23 to discover shadow puppetry, mooncakes, traditional Han garments, sugar paintings, and much more!
