Every year the Moon Festival is celebrated on the 15th lunar day of the 8th Chinese lunar month. Traditionally, it is a family holiday, much like Thanksgiving and 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.
