The Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Lunar calendar. This year it falls on Friday, September 13. Traditionally celebrated with the gathering of family over a meal and indulging in delectable mooncake. There is also the lantern parade where children of all ages get to show off their lanterns and have a short walkabout. This year there are a number of malls hosting lantern parades and we’ve shortlisted some for you.
Bangsar Village is hosting the Mid-Autumn festivities a day after the actual festival on September 14. Nevertheless, the highlights of the day will be the mooncake buffet and lanterns will be giving out to kids aged 12 and below. You can pre-register your kids for the Lantern Parade at the Bangsar Village information counter. The fee is RM15 and the profits will be given to the Bangsar Village Kids for Kid’s Charity.
