AMAPCEO’s Asian Caucus is proud to sponsor the virtual 2024 Joint Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, co-hosted by the HOLA OPS and the Diversity East Asian Network Group (EANG).

“The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated by many East and Southeast Asian people. It is the second-most important holiday after Lunar New Year with a history dating back 3,000 years, when China's emperors worshipped the moon for bountiful harvests.

The celebration is called Chuseok (autumn eve) in Korea, Tsukimi (moon-viewing) in Japan and Tết Trung Thu (Mid-Autumn Festival) in Vietnam.

The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, the Asian believe that the moon is at its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of Autumn. Lanterns of all size and shapes, are carried and displayed – symbolic beacons that light people's path to prosperity and good fortune. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean or lotus-seed paste, are traditionally eaten during this festival.”

Register online and join us on Thursday, September 26 at noon.

The festival celebration will include:

  • VIPs Greetings
  • Presentations of cultural performances
  • Festive trivia
  • Other talent shows
