The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar.

每年的農曆八月十五日是中秋節。

Festive vibes permeate the town where main streets are decorated with colorful lanterns to welcome the Festival.

在節前，澳門的大街小巷紛紛掛上色彩繽紛的燈籠，迎接佳節的到來。

As one of the most-celebrated festivities in Chinese culture and so in Macao, the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes a time for family reunion.Locals enjoy eating mooncakes and offer this sweet pastry as a gift to relatives and friends as a tradition for this occasion.

中秋節寓意團圓，澳門人很重視這個節日，親朋好友之間會互贈月餅祝賀。

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, families gather for a joyful dinner followed by a night out admiring the beautiful full moon.

在中秋節的晚上，家人相聚一起吃團圓飯，飯後到戶外賞月。

Others may enjoy a picnic in garden, by the lake or beach, having mooncakes and fruits in season under the moonlight while children play around with glittery lanterns in hand.

大人拿著月餅水果，小孩提著燈籠，一家人扶老攜幼地前往湖邊、公園或海灘等地，一邊吃月餅、一邊賞月，共享天倫之樂。
