Welcome to Chinatown's Mid-Autumn Festival

Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival beneath the Brooklyn Bridge at Welcome to Chinatown’s annual event, which moves to Gotham Park for the first time this year. The free, three-day festival brings more than 25 AAPI-owned small businesses and artists together for a pan-Asian celebration of food, art and culture. Expect Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, Thai and Malaysian food and drinks alongside handmade goods, live performances and interactive programming. Among the things to look forward to are K-pop dance performances and classes from KPulse, dance performances from KAŌS, cultural performances and origami workshops from the New York Chinese Cultural Center, mahjong and kids’ activities with Potluck America. The free festival runs from 1pm to 7pm, October 2 through 4, at Gotham Park (1 Rose St.) against the Manhattan-side base of the Brooklyn Bridge.
