Mid-Autumn Festival is a time of celebrating the harvest and thanksgiving for many families. The 15th day of the 8th month of the Lunar calendar, the festival usually coincides with the change of summer to fall, and is time to reflect on and begin to wrap up the year as we head towards the holiday season. Every year, Chinese communities in Canada celebrate locally with exchanges of delicious mooncakes and deliveries to friends and family, as well as family gatherings and dinners leading up to and the week of the festival. Keeping the tradition alive, many parents look for mooncakes and lanterns to inspire their children to learn about the cultural celebration. This was a part of the inspiration behind our very own campaign at Fête Chinoise called Love at Mid-Autumn, which is all about sharing tradition with a new generation and using design as a vehicle to promote culture.

In Asia, the festival is celebrated at larger scales through decor and gifting, as well as the breadth of mooncake choices across the hospitality and culinary industries. Enjoy some images from the other side of the world, where delightful innovation has allowed for a myriad of different mooncake types and flavours. Feast your eyes!
