# Mid-Autumn Festival
24 September 2026
Chinatown, Singapore
The Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore celebrates the end of the autumn harvest with family gatherings, lanterns and mooncakes.

## How We Celebrate
Wonder when the Mid-Autumn Festival is in Singapore, and why it is never a fixed date? While the festival is on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the lunar calendar shifts every year, which means the festival can be anytime between September and October.
Try mooncakes that are round like the full moon, which symbolizes reunion and shines its brightest during this time. Join lantern parties where families and friends gather under the moonlight for tea and mooncakes with flavours like lotus seed paste and champagne truffle flavoured mooncakes.
It is also during this period where children delight in carrying lanterns, from traditional paper ones with wax candles to modern, battery-operated versions.

## Snowskin Mooncake
A modern rendition of the lotus mooncake, with a soft and chewy outer layer made from glutinuos rice and filled with various sweet and savory fillings, snowskin mooncakes are typically white and are served cold, hence their name.

## Lotus Mooncake
The mooncake—a hallmark of the festival is characterised by its lotus-like shape, with a decorative embossed pattern on top. This mooncake is commonly filled with lotus paste, a sweet paste made from lotus seeds and salted duck egg yolks.

## Lanterns
Lanterns have a rich historical significance, originally used as spiritual offerings. It is a common sight to see children carrying lanterns of various shapes and sizes around their neighborhoods, creating a beautiful spectacle under the full moonlit sky.

## Pomelo
Considered to be a symbol of blessing. In Mandarin, the word for pomelo (柚, yòu) sounds similar to the word for "bless" (佑, yòu), and it is traditionally offered to the moon as a gesture of hope for the Moon Goddess to bestow good luck and happiness upon families.
