The University of Louisiana Monroe International and Multicultural Affairs department presents the Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Festival at 6 p.m., Wednesday, September 27th, at the Hangar (SUB Ballrooms). We are excited to partner with The Asian Student Association again!
The Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Festival, also known as the Moon Cake Festival, will be celebrated with food, beverages, educational presentations, and by creating personalized masks.
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month on the lunar calendar. This festival originated in China during the Zhou Dynasty to commemorate the harvest and honor the moon. According to chinainstitute.org, the Mid-Autumn Festival marks the end of the harvest season, a time to be with family and hopes for prosperity.
The campus and community are invited to attend the 2022 Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Festival at ULM.
