Mid-Autumn Festival (Moon Festival) – A Celebration of Worship, Food, Fireworks & Light
The Bangkok Moon Festival also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration carried out by the traditional Chinese people who celebrate the harvest and worship the moon. The festival that comes alive during the 15th day of the eighth month of September or October according to the Chinese calendar is a fascinating spectacle.
The Moon Festival also known as the Mooncake Festival or the Lantern Festival has more than just Bangkok devotees; the Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese and Japanese celebrate this festival in their own way on the same days. The festival has participants in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia as well.
Being one of the most important events in Chinese culture this celebration is more than just a festival to the Chinese people, it’s a celebration of offerings to the moon on that clear night. Legend has it that years ago Chang-Ngo who is now known and regarded as the goddess of the moon flew to the moon and never returned.
While being exposed to a festival of culture, heritage and tradition you too will be allowed to enjoy its delights. Traditions to look forward to are the moon cake and the Pomelo – a citrus fruit which is a mouth watering delicacy. You can also see the city streets decorated with lights, lanterns, sky lanterns and fire Dragon dances among other widespread functions and celebrations.
The moon festival is destined to bring you happiness, a perfect occasion for family gatherings and a legend to cling to.
