Mid Autumn Festival is a traditional day where we celebrate eating Moon Cake, Yam drinking Chinese Tea, carry Lanterns at night and appreciate the full Moon.

Kids enjoy playing with Candles for lighting up the lanterns and playing Spakers. However, most parents worried about the safety of the kids and risk of catching fire, so the candle lanterns are replaced with electric bulk lanterns.
