We hope you will join us this year at the Mid-Autumn Festival. The event will be at a new venue this year - ushering in a few other changes. We will once again be hosting students and teachers from rural Colorado, sharing the work that is being done through Nathan Yip Foundation Grants - and allowing attendees to test out some of the things students are learning, from robotics to wildland firefighting, Additionally, there will be books and activities for kids and informational booths for adults. Additionally, we will be offering a Boba Bar - where you can get boba tea! (You can purchase boba tickets when you get tickets online, or bring cash for our cash Boba bar!)

The food will still be amazing thanks to Hunan Dynasty Restaurant and Kevin and Stephanie Tung, and will be served family-style to embrace this holiday known as the Thanksgiving of the East. And like last year, all funds raised at the event will go to support the Nathan Yip Foundation's Rural Teacher Grants. Your attendance at the event raises money; however, you will also be able to check out the grant requests from 150+ teachers throughout rural Colorado and support online, whether or not you are at the event,

What is the traditional Mid-Autumn Moon Festival?

Marking the end of the fall harvest, the Mid-Autumn Festival was traditionally a time to give thanks, so it is also known as the Thanksgiving of the East. It is a time of year that the moon is at its brightest, which is why lunar legends have always been attached to the celebration. Most notable in Chinese lore is the the story of Chang Er, the wife of the hero, Hou Yi, who shot down nine of the ten suns with his bow and arrow. She drank an elixir of immortality to save it from a greedy student of Hou Yi - Peng Meng. Chang Er then ascended to the moon and has been worshiped by the Chinese as a Moon Goddess ever since. Each year, fruits and cakes are displayed as an offering to the Moon Goddess.
