Description

There is a tremendous burst of colour and excitement as the Chinese in Singapore celebrate one of the most important occasions of the Lunar calendar, called ‘Zhong Qiu Jie’, which means the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year, the festival falls on 1 October, but islandwide celebrations begin as early as 21 September in the ethnic district of Chinatown. Highlights include the Opening Ceremony, Mid-Autumn Festival Exhibition and the street market.

There is also a multitude of activities to celebrate the festival in fashionable Orchard Road, the heartlands of Albert Mall and other areas, culminating in a big bang on the tranquil waters of the Singapore River on 30 September with a Grand Finale Lantern Parade.
