Mid-Autumn Festival
Singapore celebrates the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival with cultural shows and a vibrant parade of dragon dances, lantern-carrying children and fireworks. Wander the decorated Chinatown streets, browsing market stalls and sampling the festival's traditional mooncakes made with red bean paste.
The opening ceremony of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinatown is a spectacular sight, with lion and dragon dances, a lantern parade and fireworks around Eu Tong Sen Street and New Bridge Road. Children show off their paper lanterns against the night sky while adults relax with tea and tuck into yuek beng (mooncakes).
Catch nightly cultural dance and music shows on Kreta Ayer Square and browse the Festive Bazaar on Pagoda, Trengganu, Sago and Smith streets, where stalls sell mooncakes, pomelos (a local citrus fruit) and other souvenirs.
