Mid-Autumn Moon Festival

We’re just a few days away from the official start of Fall.
Over the weekend, I got the chance to emcee the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival at Town Point Park.

It was a celebration welcoming a bountiful autumn harvest.

What a wonderful event that just wrapped up its fourth year! We had great weather, hundreds of visitors, and a spot inside the newly renovated Town Point Park

The Jow Ga Kung Fu Chinese Association of Virginia Beach brought in some good luck with a Chinese lion dance.

The ladies of the Tidewater Chinese School Performing Arts Club entertained us with a lovely ribbon dance.

And I got the chance to stand next to the Moon Goddess.

Until next year–
Hope your year is a lucky one!

    I was planning on going to this with some friends of mine, but all the websites we viewed said it was going to be on the 26th. Does this mean all the sites are wrong and we missed it?

      I’m sorry, Kelley. Those articles are wrong. The event happened a couple of weeks ago. We hope you will be able to join us next year!
