About Mid-Autumn Festival

The moon festival: families gather under the full moon with mooncakes and lanterns.

In 2027 it falls on a Wednesday; we add later years once their dates are published. Also in September 2027: International Day of Democracy (15 Sep), Central American Independence Day (15 Sep) and National Crème de Menthe Day (15 Sep). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar.
