Moonlit Reunions: Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and Koh Samui’s Full Moon at ANAVA Oceanview Condominium
The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been one of the most significant events on the Chinese cultural calendar. Also known as the Mooncake Festival or Moon Festival, Mid-Autumn is celebrated on the full moon day — the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. Due to the discrepancies between the lunar and Gregorian calendars, its exact date varies every year. In 2024, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on 17 September.
The Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizing reunion and celebration of the harvest.
