Autumn Moon Festival
September 30 - October 1
Reading poetry. The Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally
a time to read moon based poetry.
A time to tell stories. The most popular of the moon
stories is the tale of the goddess Chang Er. She mistakenly
swallows a magic solution of immortality and rose up to
inhabit the moon. Her husband Hou Yi is fated to govern
the realm of the sun. They only meet when the moon is full.
Playing games together. Many of the games played
have to do with flights of the soul, spirit possession, or
fortune telling.
This September 30 and October 1, Lan Su will celebrate the
Autumn Moon Festival with a full weekend of events and
activities.
China, like many cultures, has celebrated the harvest
during the autumn full moon since the Shang Dynasty Autumn Moon Events in the garden include:

long history. 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Story Time
