About this Event
Lantern making is a cherished tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a celebration that dates back over a thousand years in China and across East Asia. Originally tied to harvest rituals and moon worship, lanterns were lit as offerings symbolizing gratitude, unity, and the guiding light of the full moon. Over time, the practice evolved into a communal art form, with families and artisans crafting lanterns in intricate shapes—ranging from animals and flowers to mythological figures—often inscribed with riddles or शुभ messages. Today, lantern making continues to embody themes of reunion, creativity, and cultural continuity, transforming public spaces into luminous gatherings that honor both heritage and collective imagination.
