The change of the season brings our annual Mid-Autumn Moon Festival!
Join us with the entire family for a unique opportunity to revel among musicians, magicians, artists, performers, tea masters, martial arts masters, and astronomers. Learn about Chinese traditions, enjoy mooncakes and celebrate this age old tradition with local storytellers and our friends at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre will return to host mountain-top moon-viewing. This is a rare opportunity when we permit guests to the top of the Garden’s mountain and into its cave for special storytelling tours.
We welcome all to help us celebrate in style one of our biggest signature annual festivals. Perfect for families, the young and the young at heart and lovers of culture, history, tradition and exploration.
