Mooncake Festival or Mid Autumn Festival – Sept
Celebrated by the Chinese on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month to commemorate the overthrowing of tyrannical Mongol overlords in ancient China.  Shops sell a variety of Moon Cakes and are offered to the Moon Goddess by many devotees.   The cakes are usually given as gifts to relatives and friends during this month.

For Malaysians, this is also a Lantern Festival. Lanterns are sold widely to children who will light them up during the night.  In Penang a lantern procession is usually held to celebrate this day.
