We do not have autumn harvest in Singapore but we still celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. Family reunions, colourful lanterns, and of course, the irresistible mooncakes are the hallmarks of this traditional occasion. In fact, mooncakes have become so synonymous with the festival that it is often simply called the Mooncake Festival in Singapore. The Mid Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month when the full moon, considered a symbol of reunion, is shining its brightest. This year the day falls on Tuesday, 17 September 2024.
Creative Mooncakes & Boxes
Singaporeans eagerly await the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time to indulge in the decadent mooncakes without guilt. Every year, restaurants and hotels unveil exciting new and innovative flavours, adding a delightful twist to this cherished tradition.
Adding to the anticipation are the beautifully designed and creative mooncake boxes. Often works of art in themselves, some of these boxes can be treasured long after the mooncakes are gone, while others offer a practical second life as desk organisers or jewellery cases.
Several hotels and restaurants have already unveiled their 2024 offerings. Be sure to check them out and place your orders early to take advantage of early bird discounts, with savings of up to 35% for the truly decisive.
