The Promenade's Mid-Autumn Moon Festival
Culinary artistry is Food and Beverage
Manager, Rey Ponsaran's masterpiece
in every event at The Promenade
Westerners may talk about the "man in the moon", the Chinese talk about the "woman in the moon". The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year). The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a popular East Asian celebration of abundance and togetherness. In Malaysia and Singapore , it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese calendar (usually around mid- or late-September in the Gregorian calendar), a date that parallels the Autumn Equinox of the solar calendar. This is the ideal time, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, to celebrate the abundance of the summer's harvest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake.
