We’ve got the lowdown on the history of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the food (yes\nmooncakes\nhere we come!), the\nMid-Autumn events\naround town and a couple of ideas for fun things you can do with your kids – from Mid-Autumn arts and crafts to\nmaking your own playdough mooncakes\n!\nRead more:\nWhere To Get The Best Mooncakes In Singapore\n \nWhen is the Mid-Autumn 2026?\nImage credit: Pexels\nCelebrated annually around September or October, Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15\nth\n day of the 8\nth\nmonth of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year Mid Autumn Festival 2026 takes place on Friday, 25 September 2026. The Mid-Autumn Festival day is not a\npublic holiday in Singapore\n.\nA bit of history about the Mid-Autumn Festival\nImage credit: Gardens by the Bay\nThe Mid-Autumn Festival dates back to the Song dynasty in China, over 2000 years ago, and was traditionally a time to give thanks to the gods in the belief that this would bring a plentiful harvest the following year. The festival also commemorates the legend of Chang’E, a selfless woman who drank the elixir of immortality to save the country from her ruthless husband and, in doing so, floated up to the moon to live forever. Legend had it that Chang’E blesses her worshippers with beauty, so people lit lanterns in her honour (and to make sure that she could see them clearly from the sky). Another legend tells the story of Buddha, who disguises himself as an old man and asks three animals for help. The fox catches a fish for him, and the monkey brings him some fruit, but the rabbit sacrifices\nitself\nas food. In gratitude, Buddha resurrects the rabbit and sends it to the moon to be honoured.\nThese days, Mid-Autumn Festival has become a time to celebrate the moon, food, family\nand\n friends\n. \nSince the Mid-Autumn Festival is about lunar appreciation when the moon is said to be at its brightest, celebrations ramp up once the sun goes down.\nHistorically, people used paper lanterns lit with candles to light their way in the evenings as they and their families went out for moon-viewing parties. Nowadays they tend to be plastic, battery-operated (safety first, right?), and come in every shape and cartoon character you can think of. Beware that some come with electronic tunes that play non-stop!\nImage credit: Gardens by the Bay\nSingapore usually puts on a bunch of fun\nMid-Autumn Festival events\n. From huge\ncolourful lantern displays at Gardens by the Bay\nand Lights by the Lake at Jurong Lake Gardens, to the Wan Qing Mid-Autumn Festival at Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, with workshops and live performances.\nRead our\nguide to Mid Autumn events in Singapore\n.\nFeasting for Mid-Autumn Festival: Mooncakes\nImage credit: Four Seasons Singapore\nA big part of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival is buying and eating\nmooncakes\n! We love the pretty\npatterned baked mooncakes and the delicate snow skin ones\nin a palette of pastel colours. Business partners and friends share gifts of mooncakes during this time. But why mooncakes? Legend has it that mooncakes helped to free Yuan China from Mongol rule. These baked treats were used by rebels to pass messages hidden inside them which culminated in a successful uprising.\nHere’s our guide on \nwhere to buy the best mooncakes in Singapore for 2026\n!\nMid-Autumn Festival: Teaching gratitude\nImage: Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall Facebook\nThe Mid-Autumn period is a time to be grateful for what you have, your relationships and your fortunes – it’s never too early to start\nfostering gratitude in kids\n.

We’ve got the lowdown on the history of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the food (yes [mooncakes](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/best-mooncakes-singapore-where-to-buy\/) here we come!), the [Mid-Autumn events](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/play-mid-autumn-festival-events\/) around town and a couple of ideas for fun things you can do with your kids – from Mid-Autumn arts and crafts to [making your own playdough mooncakes](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/play-mid-autumn-festival-kids-arts-crafts\/)\\!\n\n*Read more: [Where To Get The Best Mooncakes In Singapore](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/best-mooncakes-singapore-where-to-buy\/)*\n\n## When is the Mid-Autumn 2026?\n![Mid-Autumn Festival 2024](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mid-autumn-festival-lanterns.jpg)\n\nImage credit: Pexels\n\nCelebrated annually around September or October, Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year Mid Autumn Festival 2026 takes place on Friday, 25 September 2026. The Mid-Autumn Festival day is not a [public holiday in Singapore](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/learn-singapore-international-school-holidays-calendar\/).\n\n## A bit of history about the Mid-Autumn Festival\n![mid autumn events](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/mid-autumn-events-2.jpg)\n\nImage credit: Gardens by the Bay\n\nThe Mid-Autumn Festival dates back to the Song dynasty in China, over 2000 years ago, and was traditionally a time to give thanks to the gods in the belief that this would bring a plentiful harvest the following year. The festival also commemorates the legend of Chang’E, a selfless woman who drank the elixir of immortality to save the country from her ruthless husband and, in doing so, floated up to the moon to live forever. Legend had it that Chang’E blesses her worshippers with beauty, so people lit lanterns in her honour (and to make sure that she could see them clearly from the sky). Another legend tells the story of Buddha, who disguises himself as an old man and asks three animals for help. The fox catches a fish for him, and the monkey brings him some fruit, but the rabbit sacrifices *itself* as food. In gratitude, Buddha resurrects the rabbit and sends it to the moon to be honoured.\n\nThese days, Mid-Autumn Festival has become a time to celebrate the moon, food, family *and* friends*.* Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is about lunar appreciation when the moon is said to be at its brightest, celebrations ramp up once the sun goes down.\n\nHistorically, people used paper lanterns lit with candles to light their way in the evenings as they and their families went out for moon-viewing parties. Nowadays they tend to be plastic, battery-operated (safety first, right?), and come in every shape and cartoon character you can think of. Beware that some come with electronic tunes that play non-stop\\!\n***\n## Mid-Autumn Festival Events\n![mid-autumn festival 2024 mid autumn festival at gardens by the bay](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mid-autumn-festival-2022-mid-autumn-festival-at-gardens-by-the-bay.jpg)\n\nImage credit: Gardens by the Bay\n\nSingapore usually puts on a bunch of fun [Mid-Autumn Festival events](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/play-mid-autumn-festival-events\/).

Getting vaccinated during pregnancy helps your body pass protective antibodies to your baby through the placenta or breastmilk, giving them a crucial head start before they can receive most vaccines themselves.³⁠ ⁠ Simple steps like handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick visitors and keeping vaccinations up to date can make a big difference in protecting both you and your little one.⁠¹ ⁠ ⁠ Every pregnancy is different, so always speak with your OBGYN about what’s right for you.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read the full guide on how to protect yourself & your newborn from common respiratory illnesses before birth!⁠ ⁠ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦.

The festival also commemorates the legend of Chang’E, a selfless woman who drank the elixir of immortality to save the country from her ruthless husband and, in doing so, floated up to the moon to live forever. Legend had it that Chang’E blesses her worshippers with beauty, so people lit lanterns in her honour (and to make sure that she could see them clearly from the sky). Another legend tells the story of Buddha, who disguises himself as an old man and asks three animals for help. The fox catches a fish for him, and the monkey brings him some fruit, but the rabbit sacrifices *itself* as food. In gratitude, Buddha resurrects the rabbit and sends it to the moon to be honoured.\n\nThese days, Mid-Autumn Festival has become a time to celebrate the moon, food, family *and* friends*.* Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is about lunar appreciation when the moon is said to be at its brightest, celebrations ramp up once the sun goes down.\n\nHistorically, people used paper lanterns lit with candles to light their way in the evenings as they and their families went out for moon-viewing parties. Nowadays they tend to be plastic, battery-operated (safety first, right?), and come in every shape and cartoon character you can think of. Beware that some come with electronic tunes that play non-stop\\!\n***\n![mid-autumn festival 2024 mid autumn festival at gardens by the bay](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mid-autumn-festival-2022-mid-autumn-festival-at-gardens-by-the-bay.jpg)\n\nImage credit: Gardens by the Bay\n\nSingapore usually puts on a bunch of fun [Mid-Autumn Festival events](https:\/\/www.sassymamasg.com\/play-mid-autumn-festival-events\/).

The Mid-Autumn Festival day is not a [public holiday in Singapore](https://www.sassymamasg.com/learn-singapore-international-school-holidays-calendar/). ## A bit of history about the Mid-Autumn Festival ![mid autumn events](https://www.sassymamasg.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/mid-autumn-events-2.jpg) Image credit: Gardens by the Bay The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back to the Song dynasty in China, over 2000 years ago, and was traditionally a time to give thanks to the gods in the belief that this would bring a plentiful harvest the following year. The festival also commemorates the legend of Chang’E, a selfless woman who drank the elixir of immortality to save the country from her ruthless husband and, in doing so, floated up to the moon to live forever. Legend had it that Chang’E blesses her worshippers with beauty, so people lit lanterns in her honour (and to make sure that she could see them clearly from the sky). Another legend tells the story of Buddha, who disguises himself as an old man and asks three animals for help. The fox catches a fish for him, and the monkey brings him some fruit, but the rabbit sacrifices itself as food. In gratitude, Buddha resurrects the rabbit and sends it to the moon to be honoured. These days, Mid-Autumn Festival has become a time to celebrate the moon, food, family and friends. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is about lunar appreciation when the moon is said to be at its brightest, celebrations ramp up once the sun goes down. Historically, people used paper lanterns lit with candles to light their way in the evenings as they and their families went out for moon-viewing parties. Nowadays they tend to be plastic, battery-operated (safety first, right?), and come in every shape and cartoon character you can think of. Beware that some come with electronic tunes that play non-stop\! * ## Mid-Autumn Festival Events ![mid-autumn festival 2024 mid autumn festival at gardens by the bay](https://www.sassymamasg.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/mid-autumn-festival-2022-mid-autumn-festival-at-gardens-by-the-bay.jpg) Image credit: Gardens by the Bay Singapore usually puts on a bunch of fun [Mid-Autumn Festival events](https://www.sassymamasg.com/play-mid-autumn-festival-events/).

Getting vaccinated during pregnancy helps your body pass protective antibodies to your baby through the placenta or breastmilk, giving them a crucial head start before they can receive most vaccines themselves.³⁠ ⁠ Simple steps like handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick visitors and keeping vaccinations up to date can make a big difference in protecting both you and your little one.⁠¹ ⁠ ⁠ Every pregnancy is different, so always speak with your OBGYN about what’s right for you.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read the full guide on how to protect yourself & your newborn from common respiratory illnesses before birth!⁠ ⁠ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦.

The Mid-Autumn Festival day is not a [public holiday in Singapore](https://www.sassymamasg.com/learn-singapore-international-school-holidays-calendar/). ## A bit of history about the Mid-Autumn Festival ![mid autumn events](https://www.sassymamasg.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/mid-autumn-events-2.jpg) Image credit: Gardens by the Bay The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back to the Song dynasty in China, over 2000 years ago, and was traditionally a time to give thanks to the gods in the belief that this would bring a plentiful harvest the following year. The festival also commemorates the legend of Chang’E, a selfless woman who drank the elixir of immortality to save the country from her ruthless husband and, in doing so, floated up to the moon to live forever. Legend had it that Chang’E blesses her worshippers with beauty, so people lit lanterns in her honour (and to make sure that she could see them clearly from the sky). Another legend tells the story of Buddha, who disguises himself as an old man and asks three animals for help. The fox catches a fish for him, and the monkey brings him some fruit, but the rabbit sacrifices itself as food. In gratitude, Buddha resurrects the rabbit and sends it to the moon to be honoured. These days, Mid-Autumn Festival has become a time to celebrate the moon, food, family and friends. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is about lunar appreciation when the moon is said to be at its brightest, celebrations ramp up once the sun goes down. Historically, people used paper lanterns lit with candles to light their way in the evenings as they and their families went out for moon-viewing parties. Nowadays they tend to be plastic, battery-operated (safety first, right?), and come in every shape and cartoon character you can think of. Beware that some come with electronic tunes that play non-stop\! * ![mid-autumn festival 2024 mid autumn festival at gardens by the bay](https://www.sassymamasg.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/mid-autumn-festival-2022-mid-autumn-festival-at-gardens-by-the-bay.jpg) Image credit: Gardens by the Bay Singapore usually puts on a bunch of fun [Mid-Autumn Festival events](https://www.sassymamasg.com/play-mid-autumn-festival-events/).
