5 Modern Ways to Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore

The Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore is just around the corner. From gardens lit up with bright lanterns to feasting on sweet mooncakes and spending quality time with your loved ones, it’s a festival full of life and connection that you absolutely want to take part in!

This lively festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the moon shines at its brightest. This year, it falls on Monday, October 6th, 2025, which means there’s still time to plan your special celebration.

In this blog, we share ideas on how you can make this year extra special and celebrate in ways you haven’t before.

Indulge in a Special Mooncake & Cocktail Pairing Evening

It’s only fitting to celebrate the Mooncake Festival with a rich and flaky mooncake that tastes of tradition.

Imagine the first bite through a golden crust, followed by the creamy filling that melts in your mouth. That satisfying feeling deepens when it’s shared, fostering a unique connection that brings loved ones closer.

Moving beyond tradition, pairing a mooncake with a refreshing cocktail fills the occasion with a modern spark. Its effervescence balances the mooncake’s rich sweetness, creating a delightful harmony of old and new.

Singapore’s iconic Gardens by the Bay is a tempting destination for Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations. That’s where many people choose to gather. The glowing lantern displays and cultural performances create a magical experience that feels like a living fairytale.

It’s a beautiful tradition, but if you’re looking for a more intimate connection, celebrating in a stylish setting offers an unforgettable experience away from the usual crowds.

At ANTI:DOTE,   you’ll discover a chic and charming place to raise a toast in celebration of the full moon. It’s the perfect atmosphere to express gratitude for a bountiful harvest and family bonding – a spectacular way to honour tradition while creating new memories. After all, the moon is the star of the celebration.

If you’re still shuffling between plans and wondering what to do for Mid-Autumn Festival, this could be what you’re waiting for.

Instead of just watching the enchantment unfold, this year you can be at the heart of the festival: learning the delicate art of baking mooncakes or crafting your own glowing lanterns.

These hands-on masterclasses are a fantastic way to embrace your creativity and truly connect with the tradition. Attending with family or friends, you’ll share an intimate experience that’s about art, connection, and making new memories together.

Immerse Yourself in a Cultural Art Experience

The Mid-Autumn Festival in Singapore brings culture and art together beyond just lanterns and mooncakes.

Celebrations unfold in many artistic forms. Some capture the heart of the tradition by painting themes of togetherness, moon-gazing, and family. Others gather to watch the spectacular lion and fire dragon dances, featuring energetic drumming and bright costumes.

Often, these vibrant scenes are accompanied by music and poetry, further celebrating reunion and artistic expression. Together, these experiences add a special layer of light and joy to the moonlit festival nights.

Gift giving is a deeply rooted tradition in many festivals, including the Mid-Autumn Festival 2025.

If you’re looking for a special way to express appreciation for a loved one, curating fruit hampers, tea sets, or mooncakes is a heartfelt gesture. It’s not just a present, but a way to foster connection, share warm wishes, and honour a tradition together.

To help you create that perfect gesture, we’ve put together a thoughtful collection for the festival. Discover our luxurious range of baked and snow mooncakes, beautifully decorated in radiant red and gold accents. For a special touch, our hampers pair these exquisite treats with elegant tea sets – a thoughtful gift that exudes warmth and personal care.
