Mid-Autumn Fest
The 82nd Avenue of Roses Mid-Autumn Fest 2009 is slated for Oct. 3, with Funtastic Carnivals Oct. 1-4 at Eastport Plaza.
The annual ancient Chinese celebration, also known as the Moon Festival, promises to be bigger and better than ever with over 3,000 people expected. According to event coordinator Nanette Tran, “Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season... This festival is nearly as important a holiday in the Chinese calendar as is the Chinese Lunar New Year.”
Activities On Oct. 3 include Northwest Lion Dance Association performance; vendor and community fair, classic car cruise-in and live entertainment. The Funtastic Carnival will operate four days, Oct. 1-4. Admission is free. See www.eastportplaza.com online for more information and updates.
