MID-AUTUMN FEST 2025
The NYC Mid-Autumn Fest is a day-long celebration of the Harvest Moon holiday, one of the biggest holidays for Asian-American families. Every year the festival showcases Asian-American-made music and art while raising money to help our community, because it is possible to do good and have a good time at the same time. Held at Hana House this year, our day-long festival (12pm to 4am!) unites a stellar lineup of performers, artisans, and creators (we’ve got everything from music to martial arts and a whole roasted pig!).
This year we are raising money for Meals for Unity, a non-profit that distributes meals to the elderly Asian-American community. Your support helps us pay our talented performers and artists fairly, while nourishing those who need it most. Join us in celebrating culture, creativity and care.Stay tuned for more information soon! In the meantime, take a look at who we’re looking for to make this event a continued success!
