5.     Mid-Autumn Festival

24 September

The Mid-Autumn Festival traditionally marked the end of autumn harvest and is also believed to be when the moon appears at its brightest, being nearest to earth on this date. Icons of the festival include lanterns, pomelos and mooncakes, the latter in recognition of the time China threw off Mongol rule through the passing of secret messages of revolt within the cakes. Chinatown is the place to be for the best atmosphere but mooncakes are sold everywhere across the island. www.visitsingapore.com/festivals-events-singapore/cultural-festivals/mid-autumn-festival/
