The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a traditional celebration observed in many East & Southeast Asian cultures. It occurs on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, typically in September when the moon is believed to be at its fullest and brightest.

The Moon festival is a day for families and friends to wish each other good luck, good health not to mention to enjoy mooncakes with a cup of hot tea (or something stronger!).
