Mooncake Festival comes up in China,this September.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar (this year falling on September 27th). Families will gather to celebrate the year's harvest and make offerings to the Goddess of the Moon, Chang'e.

When Mid-Autumn occurs at the end of September or early October its statutory day of public holiday is usually combined with the statutory National  three-day holiday for a seven-day public holiday (October 1–7), sacrificing one adjacent weekend day .According to the Chiness Lunar Calender (and traditional solar calendar), the  8th month is the second month of autumn. As the four seasons each have three (about-30-day) months on the traditional calendars, day 15 of month 8  is "the middle of autumn".

Sweet mooncakes made from lotus paste with an egg yolk centre are commonly eaten and children carry lanterns to commemorate the event. This grand festival is celebrated across Asia, including China, Vietnam, Singapore and Taiwan.
