Celebrating the magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival with the best community! 🌕✨

We gathered together to share in some beautiful cultural traditions, including an awesome presentation on the history of Bo Bing, a unique and lively dice game. The snack table was completely stacked with incredible treats—from beautiful boxed mooncakes and fun cultural stickers to classic Want Want mixed biscuits and the traditional ceramic bowl ready for the dice game! We spent the afternoon sampling all the different delicious mooncake flavors with friends while listening to our amazing peers share the stories behind these historic customs.

Wishing everyone a season filled with joy, good fortune, and a perfectly full moon! 🥮🎲🏮
