What is the Argyle Mid-Autumn Moon Festival?

The Argyle Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, taking place on September 10th, 2022, commemorates the second most important holiday behind Lunar New Year from many different Asian cultures. This one-day culturally focused event on Argyle Street (see map below) intends to add value and meaning to the Asia on Argyle District in Uptown. Join us for a wide range of musical acts, cultural performances, live art painting, youth lantern making sessions, artisanal vendors, and an immersive light experience. Scroll down to learn more!

LIGHTS

Once the sun sets, you’ll be welcomed with illuminated lights and lanterns all throughout the festival. From inflated light art pieces to hanging lanterns to an alter/shrine area, we aim to add the cultural element of honoring the moon and lighting lanterns seen in traditional celebrations throughout Asia.
