Every year, thousands of people gather under the full moon to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Philadelphia’s Chinatown.

Closing down 10th Street, people gather to reclaim old traditions and establish new ones, and in so doing, assert their right to exist as a community.

AAU’s Mid-Autumn Festival creates a time when people come together in an expression of community pride and collective responsibility.

Youth give a day of service, restaurants donate food, artists offer their talents, businesses and organizations chip in money –

hundreds of people work together to make the festival our own.

With support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the Philadelphia Cultural Fund,

Greater Philadelphia Traditions Fund, and the Philadelphia Folklore Project
