Cabramatta Moon Festival

The Cabramatta Moon Festival is a spectacular event that celebrates Vietnamese culture and attracts more than 90,000 people annually.

The festival is also known in Vietnam as the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Trung Thu Festival.

The date varies each year and is determined by the equinox – the day of the year when daylight and night are equal in length. Celebrating cultural diversity, the festival promotes harmonious relations in Cabramatta, Australia’s Vietnamese capital.

The Cabramatta Moon Festival offers a variety of cultural events, from a traditional lantern parade and the famous lion dance to customary dances, where participants are adorned in vibrant costumes. There is lots on offer to suit visitors of all ages, including live entertainment, rides, stalls, food, and family-friendly activities.

During the festival, the streets of Cabramatta are filled with stalls selling traditional accessories, clothes, bags, toys, and treats for everyone to enjoy. A tempting array of food highlights the diversity and vitality of South-East Asian cuisine. Each year, the festival closes with a spectacular fireworks display that is not to be missed.
