The Chinese American Citizens Alliance (C.A.C.A.) joins Chinese Americans and communities across the country in celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, a cherished tradition of family, reunion, gratitude, and community.
Observed on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the festival is traditionally marked by gathering with family and friends, sharing mooncakes, and enjoying the full moon. For generations, the moon has symbolized reunion and connection, making this an occasion to appreciate the people and traditions that bring us together.
For Chinese Americans, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also an important expression of cultural heritage. From the earliest Chinese immigrants who established communities throughout the United States to families today, traditions such as this have helped preserve stories, customs, and connections across generations while becoming part of the broader American experience.
“Festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival remind us that heritage is something we share and pass on,” said C.A.C.A. National President Kin Hui. “As Chinese Americans, we can take pride in our heritage while celebrating the many ways we contribute to the continuing story of America.”
The festival also provides an opportunity to remember those who came before us—the families and community leaders who faced hardship, built communities, and helped shape the Chinese American experience.Their experiences are an important part of the Chinese American story and of the larger American story.
As C.A.C.A. continues its work to advance equal justice, preserve Chinese American history and heritage, and strengthen our communities, our shared traditions can help bridge generations and communities and remind us of the common bonds that unite us.
C.A.C.A. wishes everyone a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival. May the full moon bring peace, happiness, good health, and reunion with family and friends.
中秋快乐！Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
