You’re invited to the 3rd annual Autumn Moon Festival on Saturday, September 14th, 11am-3pm between 6th and 9th avenues on Clement Street.

This festival is organized in collaboration by: Clement Street Merchants Association, The Richmond Neighborhood Center, Community Youth Center, the Office of Assembly member Phil Ting and the Office of Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer.

Autumn Moon Festival celebrations have been held throughout Asia for well over 1,000 years. This holiday is a time to reflect upon the bounty of the summer harvest, the fullness of the moon, and the myth of the immortal moon Goddess, Chang-O, who lives in the moon. The Moon Festival is often considered a “Chinese Thanksgiving” because of its celebration of gratitude and inclusion of abundant food – including the popular moon cake. The Autumn Moon Festival will be a fun, family-friendly event where attendees will have a taste of the cultural diversity of the Richmond District.
