September brings a new school year, a return to routine and, for many of us, a slightly busier pace. And this year, 25 September is Mid-Autumn Festival.
With mooncakes, lanterns, moon-gazing and gatherings with family and friends, Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration with a rich cultural tradition. For some, these are familiar traditions and childhood memories; for others, it may be a chance to discover something new about Cantonese culture - and perhaps try a mooncake or two along the way!
Whether you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival every year or are discovering it for the first time, we hope you can enjoy a little of the festive atmosphere, share some food and time with family and friends, and have a lovely time together.
From all of us at Cantonese in Ireland,
九月返學、新學年開始，生活又慢慢忙返起上嚟；而今年嘅 9月25日，就係中秋節。
中秋節係一個好有特色嘅節日，有月餅、燈籠、賞月，亦有同屋企人朋友聚埋一齊嘅傳統。 對一啲人嚟講，呢啲係由細到大嘅節日回憶；對未慶祝過中秋節嘅朋友嚟講，亦可以係一個認識廣東話文化、試吓新嘢嘅好機會。
無論你係每年都會過中秋，定係今年第一次認識呢個節日，我哋都希望大家可以一齊感受吓中秋嘅氣氛，食吓月餅、賞吓月，同屋企人朋友享受一個開心嘅晚上。
Cantonese in Ireland 祝大家中秋節快樂！
