The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time to celebrate family and friends. It is a time for reunions and for enjoying the company of those we love. In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important holidays of the year. We gather to enjoy traditional food and to celebrate the harvest. Mooncakes are a popular food item during the festival. These cakes are round and have a sweet filling. In Guangdong, BBQ is also popular! At night, we have a barbecue in our backyard and enjoy the moon together.
The festival is also a time for giving thanks. We acknowledged our firm which we have been able to harvest and for the loved ones they are able to celebrate with. It is a time of happiness and joy.
And finally, There are many fun activities to enjoy during the festival. We watch the fireworks, listen to music, eat food, and much more. Be sure to take advantage of all the fun activities!
