The Full Moon Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated in various Asian cultures, particularly in China and Vietnam. It occurs on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest. The festival symbolizes family reunion and harvest, and people often gather to admire the moon, share stories, and enjoy traditional foods. During the festival, people commonly eat mooncakes, which are round pastries filled with sweet or savory fillings. Lanterns are also a significant part of the celebration, with children often carrying them while participating in parades. The festival is a time for reflection, gratitude, and wishing for good fortune in the coming year.
