Autumn Moon Festival on Full Moon in September

Monday, September 24th, 2012

The next full moon is on September 29, the day of this Autumn Moon Festival at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center at 1288 W. River Rd.(east of La Canada). First there will be a rummage sale from 3 to 5 p.m.* , followed by a delicious Chinese dinner from 6 to 8 p.m. Tickets for dinner are $10 for members (like me), $15 non members and $5 children, but free if the child brings a paper lantern.

*Update: rummage sale cancelled due to lack of participation. Sorry for any inconvenience to those who read this post before the notification.
