holiday known as the Moon Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, or the Lantern
Festival. M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden invites you spend time in
our garden on the 15th lunar day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese
Calendar, to honor this centuries-old traditional holiday of
remembrance, family, bountiful harvest, and of course, Moon-gazing.
The holiday’s roots can be found in several traditional stories and
myths, some of which we will share in the lantern-making event for kids
scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 7th.
