Mid-Autumn Festival street site in Chinatown (10th Street closed to traffic)

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Go to the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinatown on the date on its festival page (check first, since the stage schedule may change), or sign up on the volunteer form linked from the Get Involved page..

You can just show up.

What to expect

The main stage runs from noon into the evening, and the festival ends with a lantern parade. Visitors can make lanterns or try calligraphy and carnival games, watch performances such as lion dances and dance groups, and eat from local restaurants. The page describes it as drawing thousands of families.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the festival page for the latest date and stage times before you go.
  • Plan for most of an afternoon if you want to see the parade at the end.
  • Look up transit or parking separately, since the page does not describe either.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: It is a public, family friendly street festival, and the site gives a volunteer form and an email address. Youth leadership deadlines and steps are not listed on the pages read..
