The Mid-Autumn Moon festival is a very important Chinese holiday, second to Chinese New Year. Other names include Moon Festival, Harvest Moon Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Mooncake Festival. To the Chinese, a full moon is a symbol of prosperity, happiness, and family reunion. It is celebrated with mooncakes, one of my inspirations for my new designs, now available at AsiaStore at Asia Society in New York City.
Many US cities will be celebrating it through the weekend, so you still have time to join in the fun.
