Also known as the Lantern Festival or the Mooncake Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most anticipated traditions celebrated by the Chinese community. It’s a time for reunions and get-togethers amongst family and friends, where expressions of gratitude, love and appreciation are shared.

Taking place at some of the most historical places in Singapore, here are some upcoming events and promotions to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival:
