This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival at the Burnham Wildlife Corridor was a truly magical evening of art, storytelling, music, and community under the moonlit sky. Hosted at the stunning Set in Stone Gathering Space, the event brought together families, artists, and cultural leaders to honor this cherished seasonal celebration rooted in East and Southeast Asian traditions.
From lantern-making to live performances, the festival invited guests of all ages to participate in activities that celebrated togetherness, harvest, and gratitude. The event was a beautiful reminder of the power of cultural storytelling and the joy of shared celebration. We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to the Chinese American Museum of Chicago and everyone who joined us. Your support helped make this special night a success!
