Gateway Theatre presents Moonlight Magic: Mid-Autumn Celebration on September 14 at 6 pm at Studio A and Minoru Park
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time of togetherness with people honouring the full harvest moon as a symbol of peace and prosperity. Occurring on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, it happens sometime between mid-September and early October and is when the moon is at its fullest after the autumnal equinox; this year, it falls on September 17.
Traditionally, people gather to admire the full moon, light lanterns, and eat mooncakes. To that end, Gateway Theatre is marking the occasion with Moonlight Magic: Mid-Autumn Celebration.
The family-friendly festivities kick off with a hands-on lantern-making workshop, which will be followed by a lantern procession through Minoru Park. As the sun sets, a concert featuring Filipino mezzo-soprano Renee Fajardo will take place.
Born and raised in Manila, Fajardo has performed on the opera stage and as a solo recitalist in the Philippines, the U.K., Europe, and Canada. She is the education manager for Gateway Theatre.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for youth.
