Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on the back lawn of Marble House, near the Chinese Teahouse. The Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiu Jie (中 秋 节), also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a 3,000-year-old tradition from China that celebrates togetherness.

We invite you to a family-friendly celebration of this festival on the grounds of Marble House and in the Chinese Tea House. Activities will include watching a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, eating Mooncakes and participating in various craft stations that will offer lantern decorating, paper folding, book readings and more.

The Rhode Island Kung Fu & Lion Dance Club will perform at 6:45 pm to close out the evening. Lion dance is a festive, cultural performance that combines the movement and spirit of kung fu with drumming. It represents positivity, good luck and the warding away of negative energy.
