The Mid-Autumn Festival, one of Asia's most significant traditional celebrations—comparable to Christmas and Thanksgiving in the West—takes place at the Set in Stone Gathering Space in the Burnham Wildlife Corridor. Celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar, the festival's full moon represents unity and the reunion of family and friends. Join the Chicago Park District event at this scenic location to experience Chinese Moon Festival traditions, including folk dancing, live music, Peking opera, instrument performances, and a fashion show.
