Mid-Autumn Festival
One festival that stands out to me is the Mid-Autumn Festival. As someone who is half Chinese, this festival holds a special place in my heart. This festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, which typically falls in September or October. It is a time to celebrate the harvest and the full moon, as well as spend time with family and friends. On campus, there will be a lantern-making workshop and mooncake tasting event to celebrate this festival.
Dia de los Muertos
Another festival that I am looking forward to is Dia de los Muertos. This holiday is a time to remember and honor loved ones who have passed away. There will be an altar-making workshop on campus, where students can learn about the significance of the ofrenda and create their own to honor their loved ones.
