Moon Festival in Den Haag

It was last Saturday that there’s a Chinese celebration here in Den Haag centrum. The celebration is called Moon Festival. Since we live close to the centrum, so we grab the chance to witness the celebration.

The annual Autumn Moon Festival is an important Chinese holiday which celebrates the abundance of the Summer harvest. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar, when the moon is said to be at its fullest and brightest. The Moon Festival is also commonly referred to as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival & Mooncake Festival. Mooncakes are a Chinese pastry that is traditionally enjoyed while celebrating the festival.
