Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, sometimes called the "Moon Festival", occurs very year on 8/15 of the lunar calendar every year, near the Harvest Moon. The next ones are: Sept 12, 2011; Sept. 19, 2012; and Sept. 9, 2013. It is the second most important Chinese festival and celebrated around the world. The moon is full, families come together and eat a meal including mooncakes. Some compare the holiday to the American Thanksgiving.
Hello, I was looking for a way to email you, but didn't see any link on this site, so I'll comment here. Do you know of any mid-autumn festivals that are taking place in north Jersey? Anything happening in towns this weekend or soon? I saw in your profile that you're from NJ so I figured I'd ask. I couldn't find anything in Google except Chinatown, NY, which is too far. Great blog by the way!

For NJ celebrations, see the latest post - or email me at mus-mandarin at wubison.com .
Thanks for the latest post! I'll have to look into the local Chinese schools for upcoming events - there are supposedly a few around here.
