At a time where gifts are an extension of yourself, there is no better choice than a Koko Black mooncake lantern to create a memorable moment at this year’s Mid Autumn Festival.

On the 15^th Day of the 8^th Lunar month, when the moon is at its brightest in the year, comes a special time to celebrate the harvest season. Since its origin as the moon worship ceremony in the Zhou dynasty before 1000 BC, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been a day for friends and family to come together and pray for longevity and good fortune. As the holiday falls on the day of the full moon, it makes rooftops a great place to spend the evenings and share special foods.
