Mid Autumn Festival 2026!

I can’t believe it’s already Fall! Of course, I had to update my mooncake guide. If you need some inspo, then look no further. I always try to give extra love to mom and pop shops so make sure to pay extra close attention to those!

This year, the festival falls on September 25, 2026, and is recognized throughout the Southland in Asian communities like Chinatown and the San Gabriel Valley by gathering with family, lighting lanterns, gazing at the moon, and eating mooncakes.
