The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, also called the Moon Festival, is an important traditional celebration in Chinese culture. It takes place on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is usually full and bright.

The festival is mainly about family reunion, gratitude, and the harvest. Families often have dinner together, admire the moon, light lanterns, and eat mooncakes. Their round shape symbolizes unity and togetherness.

The festival is also connected to the famous legend of Chang'e, the moon goddess, who is said to live on the moon. Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in China and in many Chinese communities around the world.
