The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Full Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is one of the most important festivals in China and is recognized and celebrated by ethnic Chinese around the world. The festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese Lunar Year. Generally, it is a day for friends and family to gather and unite together, eat mooncakes, and enjoy the full moon. The Mid-Autumn Festival moon is traditionally said to be brighter and fuller than at any other time of the year.
The most famous food during the Mid-Autumn Festival is the mooncake. Mooncakes are round cakes that are usually about the size of hockey pucks, although their size, flavor and style can differ depending on what part of China you are in.
