Check out this festival at Harbourfront this Saturday:
Tet Trung Thu: Mid Autumn Celebration Saturday, Sept. 25, 2 p.m. onwards. The Mid Autumn Festival, also known as the Vietnamese Moon Festival or the Lantern Festival, is celebrated throughout East Asia. It is the second-most important holiday (New Year’s Day being the most important) and occurs around the September equinox. Traditionally, families gather around to celebrate the end of the summer harvest by eating moon cakes, lighting lanterns, and gazing at the moon and stars. It is also a wonderful day for children to stay up late and play together outside at night.
