Mid-Autumn Festival Parade

The parade was short and a little disheveled. There was difficulty with one of the flags. The parade involves the public. They walk behind with lanterns. Here you will see the citizens of Singapore and some tourists walking the Mid Autumn festival.

The celebration of the harvest is observed every 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is believed to be at its fullest. Chinatown greets this festival with a light-up and a bazaar selling mooncakes, pomelos, tea and other festive treats.
