Mid-Autumn Festival

Tuesday, September 17, 2024

6:00 - 8:00 PM

KU Union, Ascher Plaza 

(Inclement Weather: KU Union, Ballroom)

Join the KU Center for East Asian Studies to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as  Chuseok, when the moon is more luminous than any other day. Say hello to new and old friends and enjoy a taste of mooncakes (first come, first served) with activities  and  performances. 

The festival includes performances by Three Trails Taiko, House of Dragons, and Lion Dance Club as well as face-painting, lanterning making, Chuseok trivia, games and more! Don't forget to wear traditional attire from East Asian countries if you have any. 

There will also be food sold by student organizations including matcha tea, mochi cake, rice balls (onigiri) and fried rice.

We welcome children, families, and everyone from our Lawrence community.
