Now in its 29th year, the Mid-Autumn Festival attracts thousands of individuals and families to Philadelphia’s Chinatown to reconnect and give thanks under the Harvest Moon. The event is a culmination of the efforts of hundreds: youth volunteers running activities, restaurants donating food, artists performing, and businesses large and small supporting the cause.

The Festival is a family-friendly event centering the Asian community—one of Philadelphia’s fastest-growing demographic. Activities include lion dances, martial arts displays, Chinese opera, carnival games, arts & crafts, and the mooncake eating contest.
