Family Moon Festival
541-B Second Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $4
Join the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum in celebrating the brightest full moon of the year.
The Chinese celebrate the moon, or mid-Autumn festival, on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month by savoring the full moon, the bounty of the harvest, and mooncakes. We will demonstrate how to prepare these traditional treats, which can include exotic flavors ranging from red bean paste to sweet lotus seed. Children will have a chance to make their own mooncakes, and volunteers will help museum staff retell Chinese legends about the jade rabbit and fairy princess living on the moon.
With Chinese arts and crafts, a calligraphy demonstration, and a chance to sample various types of mooncakes. Info: [email protected].
