The traditional Chinese festival celebrated during the harvest is the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival. It typically falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest. This festival is a time for families to gather, celebrate the harvest, and give thanks for the bounty of food. Traditions include eating mooncakes, which are round pastries filled with various fillings. Lantern displays and moon-gazing are also common activities that foster a sense of community and family togetherness during this festive occasion.
