Moon Festival 2019

In a tradition dating back thousands of years, Orange County celebrated the Moon Festival this Saturday, September 14, with poetry, dance, and arts for children and families.

Organized by OC Supervisor Andrew Do, the Moon Festival was a special celebration where families and friends came together, ate mooncakes and watched the moon at its largest and brightest point in the year.

“It’s a celebration of community unity,” explained Supervisor Andrew Do, who represents the First District. “The Moon Festival is a wonderful day for families to come together, give thanks, and reflect on the joy in our lives.”

The 2019 Moon Festival featured lion dancing, live band entertainment, youth performances and a parade of colorful lanterns for children. The free event was hosted in collaboration with CalOptima, OC Parks, OC Waste & Recycling, and the Vietnamese Cultural Center.
