Mid-Autumn Festival is a time of celebrating the harvest and thanksgiving for many families. The 15th day of the 8th month of the Lunar calendar, the festival usually coincides with the change of summer to fall, and is time to reflect on and begin to wrap up the year as we head towards the holiday season. Every year, Chinese communities in Canada celebrate locally with exchanges of delicious mooncakes and deliveries to friends and family, as well as family gatherings and dinners leading up to and the week of the festival. Keeping the tradition alive, many parents look for mooncakes and lanterns to inspire their children to learn about the cultural celebration. This was a part of the inspiration behind our very own campaign at Fête Chinoise called Love at Mid-Autumn, which is all about sharing tradition with a new generation and using design as a vehicle to promote culture.

In Asia, the festival is celebrated at larger scales through decor and gifting, as well as the breadth of mooncake choices across the hospitality and culinary industries. Enjoy some images from the other side of the world, where delightful innovation has allowed for a myriad of different mooncake types and flavours. Feast your eyes!

Mahjong, Memory & Mid-Autumn: Fête Chinoise Launches the 2026 Love at Mid-Autumn Campaign

There is a particular sound that many of us carry from our earliest memories: the sharp, satisfying click and clang of Mahjong tiles shuffled across a table, the gentle murmur of conversation between turns, and the laughter that rises from familiar stories, playful teasing, and moments shared around the table. Across generations and continents, Mahjong has travelled far beyond the tabletop. It has become a gathering place connecting families, preserving traditions, and carrying with it a rich language of symbolism, craftsmanship, and cultural memory.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, we invite our community to rediscover the beauty behind this beloved game through the 6th annual Love at Mid-Autumn campaign, a celebration of Chinese heritage, creative expression, and giving back.

The 12 Course Banquet: Traditional Chinese Wedding Menus 十全十美中式婚宴菜單

Chinese culture values symbolism. On important occasions like the wedding banquet, the ingredients used are chosen with care, and each dish carries different meanings. A typical Chinese wedding banquet menu includes either ten or twelve dishes, symbolizing "full and perfection" or implying that the couple will have happiness throughout the twelve months of the year. For this special feature, we invited Rovey Chinese Catering and Private Dining, to demonstrate twelve classic Chinese wedding banquet courses and introduce the meaning behind each dish.

Cutting Through Tradition: Yang Shih-yi’s Intricate Paper Art 因捨而得的剪紙哲學

In a world where artists often boast about their exceptional and distinctive creations, Taiwanese paper-cutting artist Yang Shih-yi stands apart with his humility. Unlike many artists who speak loftily about their works, Yang describes himself as merely a storyteller, messenger, and servant to serve others' needs. He even goes as far as to say, “The arts might not even be significant.” His primary concern is whether his works will inspire a sense of joy and well-being in people.

Fastening Elegance: Royce Chau weaves creative flair into the traditional craft of floral button-making 綻放於衣裳上

The art of crafting handmade knotted floral buttons, a cherished Chinese tradition, often goes unnoticed by modern fashion enthusiasts. Adorning cheongsams and other garments, these buttons complement the chosen fabric and colour, serving as a small yet intricate detail in the time-consuming tailoring process of traditional Chinese dresses. Royce Chau knows this firsthand, having studied tailoring Chinese garments when she couldn't find a traditional Chinese outfit she liked while living in Singapore. Unable to find what she sought in numerous department stores, she resolved to learn how to make one herself.
