Mums and dads, we know how important it is to pass on our culture to our kids. That is why the Mid-Autumn Festival is so special to us. It's a chance to show our little ones the beauty of our traditions, the happiness of being together, and the stories that connect us.
Traditionally, this festival symbolises the end of the autumn harvest and the heartwarming reunion of loved ones. As the radiant full moon graces the night sky, families gather in its luminous glow with mooncakes, lanterns, and lots of joy and laughter.
Well, it’s that time of the year again. The magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival is upon us, and City Square Mall is overjoyed to extend a warm welcome to families for the enchanting "Mall-velous Mid-Autumn Reunion."
This September, City Square Mall turns into a place of fun and celebration. There's so much to do for the whole family, from cool art workshops that let your creativity flow, to lantern displays that will make you wonder, and exciting performances that will fill your heart with joy.
Here’s your chance to join in the fun, create cherished memories, and feel the togetherness right in the heart of the city.
