The Moon Festival, the Harvest Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival are different names for the same celebration that takes place in China, Korea, Vietnam and other countries. It falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at the brightest and fullest, which symbolizes strong family values.
In China, many believe this festival is to honor the moon goddess. However, the most famous legend is to commemorate rebellion against the Mongolian ruler; where they use the moon cake as the medium of communications. On the night of this celebration, family and friends will reunite, and as they watch the moon, the moon cake will be served and lanterns in all colors, shapes and sizes will be lit. <<< Click Here for more Information >>> |

| Central Florida is made of a community of thousands of people, each and every one diverse and unique. Asian Festival hopes to bring together these diverse elements for the first time in a celebration of music and dance in the spirit of unity. Asian Festival seeks to bring together various cultures from Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Indian cultures and more. The performance categories will be split by age ranges.
The outcome of this project will be a more culturally conscious community, continuing to work towards ending injustices and to combat all forms of ignorance and prejudice, increasing understanding of the self-identity and community. <<< Click Here for more Information >>> |
