Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations

Event Description

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a cherished celebration in Asian cultures, especially in Hong Kong. This festival holds deep cultural significance as a time for family reunions, expressing gratitude, and appreciating the beauty of the full moon. Traditional customs during the festival include mooncakes, moon gazing, lantern displays, and festive decorations, all of which are essential elements of the celebration.

We are also taking this opportunity to host a Mid-Autumn cultural celebration to deepen everyone's understanding of the festival's significance. The event will feature a variety of performances, including the Lion Rock Kids Children's Choir, Chinese orchestra, pop dance, and a mooncake-making workshop. Please be aware that photography/ filming will be taking place during the event.

After the event, we invite everyone to continue celebrating by joining us at Trinity Square for the opening ceremony of "Moon Bloom"—a community-designed art installation. Come together to witness this historic moment!

中秋節是亞洲文化中特別珍貴的慶祝活動，尤其在香港。這個節日具有深厚的文化意義，是家庭團聚、表達感激之情和讚美滿月之美的時刻。中秋節期間有許多傳統習俗，其中月餅是這一節日的標誌性美食，賞月、提燈籠和節日裝飾也都是不可或缺的元素。

我們亦藉此機會舉辦了中秋文化慶祝活動，讓大家更深入了解這個節日的意義。活動內容豐富，包括Lion Rock獅子山兒童合唱團的歌唱表演、傳統中樂表演、流行舞蹈表演，以及月餅製作工作坊。請注意，活動期間大會將進行拍攝和錄影。

活動結束後，歡迎大家繼續參加我們在Trinity Square舉行的“月滿園”（Moon Bloom）開幕儀式——這是一件由社區共同設計的藝術作品。讓我們一起見證這個歷史性的時刻！
