We are excited to announce that the 3rd annual Richmond District Autumn Moon Festival will take place on Saturday, September 14, 2019, on Clement Street between 6th and 9th Avenues, from 11:00am to 3:00pm. This festival is organized in collaboration with: Clement Street Merchants Association, The Richmond Neighborhood Center, Community Youth Center, the Office of Assemblymember Phil Ting and the Office of Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer.

Autumn Moon Festival celebrations have been held throughout Asia for well over 1,000 years. This holiday is a time to reflect upon the bounty of the summer harvest, the fullness of the moon, and the myth of the immortal moon Goddess, Chang-O, who lives in the moon. The Moon Festival is often considered a “Chinese Thanksgiving” because of its celebration of gratitude and inclusion of abundant food – including the popular moon cake.

The Autumn Moon Festival will be a fun, family-friendly event where attendees will have a taste of the cultural diversity of the Richmond District.

Back by popular demand, the Dog "PAWgeant" will take place from 12:30pm to 1:30pm at the Clement and 9th Avenue Stage. There will be a stage area provided for the PAWgeant to celebrate furry friends! Your dog does not have to be dressed up to participate. PUParazzi welcome!
