San Francisco Celebrates 25th Annual AT&T Autumn Moon Festival

Once again, the historic streets of Chinatown on Grant Avenue will be transformed into a lively, colorful pedestrian bazaar for the 25th Annual AT&T Autumn Moon Festival from September 19-20th, 2015. Hosted by the Chinatown Merchants Association, this event will be filled with fun arts and crafts booths, cultural exhibits, children’s activities, authentic food, corporate sponsors and non-stop entertainment. The festivities open with a grand parade on Saturday at 11 a.m. on California and Grant led by civic officials, beauty queens, cultural performers and lion dancers. The famous Dragon appears on Sunday at 5 p.m. as the grand finale of the event. The Moon Festival attracts throngs of local residents and tourists from all over the San Francisco Bay Area. This event originally started in 1991 by a group of merchants to revitalize Chinatown businesses. Since then, the Festival has continued to flourish year after year.
