Flyer for Asian Mid-Autumn Mooncakes 2022

All CWRU students are invited to celebrate the Asian Mid-Autumn Festival on Friday, September 9 from 1-2 pm on the Case Quad!

The Center for International Affairs will be handing out FREE mooncakes and stuffed rabbits as long as supplies last!

The Asian Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of a successful harvest throughout much of Eastern Asia and is enjoyed by bringing together families and friends. It goes by many names including Tet Trung Thu, Tsukimi and Chuseok.

Traditions vary, but often include celebrating the harvest of rice and wheat by eating special desserts like mooncakes, sharing stories, and hanging lanterns. The moon is an important part of the holiday, and it's common for celebrations to take place at night to provide an opportunity to enjoy it. The rabbit is a popular symbol of the festival based on Chinese mythology.

You can learn more about the festival with the Kelvin Smith Library's Asian Mid-Autumn Festival Resource Guide: http://researchguides.case.edu/mid-autumn-festival
