Canberra Moon Festival 2025 returns to the heart of the city from 5 September to 7 September, transforming City Walk and Petrie Plaza into a dazzling Mid-Autumn celebration of multicultural heritage, community spirit and festive joy.
Building on the success of last year’s event, the 2025 festival promises an even bigger program of live entertainment, cultural showcases and family-friendly activities. Visitors can enjoy music, dance and martial arts performances from more than 10 cultural communities, along with giant LED moon and rabbit installations and a spectacular lantern street.
Hands-on workshops will offer free cultural experiences for all ages, from mooncake making and lantern crafting to mother-of-pearl jewellery and lacquer fan painting. This year’s Local Youth Artist Awards will celebrate the creativity and cultural storytelling of emerging local talent.
Food lovers will be spoilt for choice with more than 20 stalls serving a mouth-watering mix of international street eats.
Free to attend and open to everyone, the Canberra Moon Festival is a signature multicultural event not to be missed. Please visit the Canberra Moon Festival website for more details.
