Asian Cultural Center of Vermont (ACCVT) presents the annual Mid-Autumn Moon Festival (Zhongqiu Jie) which is celebrated in China, Korea, Vietnam and other places around the world. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important celebrations in Chinese culture, dating back over 3,000 years. The round shape of the full moon symbolizes completeness and family unity.
During the festival, lanterns light the path toward prosperity and good fortune, and families gather outdoors at night to admire the bright moon, tell stories, and eat together. Come celebrate the Autumn Moon Festival with crafts, songs, food, Taiji, paper lanterns, Chinese exercises, the Korean rope tug and more. Hear the story of The Goddess of the Moon, Chang’e; the great archer Hou-Yi; and the Elixir of Immortality. Then watch the harvest moon rise. The celebration will start with a potluck (bring a dish to share).
The Moon Festival will be held Monday, September 28th, from 6:00 – 8:00pm at the Kiwanis Shelter atop Memorial Park Drive, Brattleboro, VT. All ages, free to the public, all welcome, rain or shine. For more information call (802) 416-1027 or (802) 579-9008 or visit accvt.org.
