In the Chinese lunar calendar, the 15th day of the 8th month marks the time of the year when the moon is at its roundest and brightest.
For thousands of years this day has been celebrated in Chinese culture as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Known as the Moon Festival, it is a time of celebration with friends and family over delicious food and upbeat, joyous activities.
The public is invited by the Chinese American Heritage Association to attend its first annual Mid-Autumn Culture Festival on Saturday, October 1 at Jennings Beach, Fairfield, Connecticut 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
Pre-register today at $10 per person or $30 per family.
