With mid-autumn festival just 10 days away, Singapore’s Chinatown was a flurry of activity on Sep 8 - the fourth day of the eighth lunar month. On Saturday evening, president Tony Tan Keng Yam officiated the light-up ceremony in Chinatown.
The New Bridge Road and Eu Tong Sen Street were accesorized with over 20-thousand multicoloured lanterns, creating a festive spirit not dissimilar to lunar New Year. This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 19th, the 15th day of the eighth month on the lunar calender.

The ceremony was marked by performances in song, dance, skits, martial arts and dragon dances involving some 300 local and overseas performers.
The event tipped off with a spectacular display of fireworks, but visitors can expect an array of other celebration events including a mass lantern walk, street bazaars, carnivals and stage shows until the mid-autumn festival.
