In 2020, the Mid-Autumn Festival is on October 1st. This festive day falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Lunar Year (a.k.a. the Chinese Calendar). Second only to the Chinese New Year, the Mid-Autumn Festival holds agricultural importance because of the harvest and season of growth for a new year of crops. On this special day, the moon cake is popular and families gather to eat hot pot as well as dumplings and more traditional Chinese dishes.
Available in the Armacost Library and in the digital holdings:

Happy eating and exploring!
