We will usher in the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for celebration, a time to come together and express gratitude. This class addresses questions like: Why is this festival so important to Chinese people? What traditions and customs do we have? What should we do during this special time? Also, what should we eat? We'll also have fun.
