Sweet Mooncakes, Bright Lanterns & Big Smiles: Celebrate the Moon Festival in City Heights on October 4

Hands-on fun, sweet treats, and Mid-Autumn cheer in City Heights

SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Little Saigon San Diego invites families, neighbors, and friends to a joyful Moon Festival Celebration on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Officer Jeremy Henwood Memorial Park (City Heights). From 3:00pm to 9:00pm, the park will be alive with laughter, music, dancing lions, glowing lanterns, sweet mooncakes, and even a family movie under the stars!

The highlight of the festival is a hands-on Mooncake-Making Party (3:00–7:00 PM). Guests of all ages can roll dough, press beautiful molds, and take home their very own mooncakes—while supplies last. The best part? No baking or cooking is required, so everyone can join in the fun.

“Mooncakes are more than a dessert—they’re a warm invitation to gather, to share stories, and to celebrate the light we carry for one another,” said Tram Lam, organizer with Little Saigon San Diego. “Come for the treats, stay for the smiles, and bring the kids—this activity is quick, easy, and so much fun!”
