Roots & Routes Mid-Autumn Festival 2026 with CAMOC
Chinese American Museum of Chicago hosts Roots & Routes Mid-Autumn Festival Saturday, September 26, 2026 from 4:00-7:00 p.m., an off-site harvest-moon program with venue details still rolling out.
Roots & Routes Mid-Autumn Festival lands Saturday, September 26, 2026 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with the Chinese American Museum of Chicago. CAMOC tags the program as off-site and is still filling in the public details.
Prior editions with CAMOC and Chicago Park District partners have used the Set in Stone Gathering Space in the Burnham Wildlife Corridor for music, mooncakes, family crafts, and a lantern procession. Treat 2026 venue and shuttle notes as confirm-on-site until the museum page updates.
Same Mid-Autumn corridor also carries Pacifica Square Moon Festival in Aurora on September 19 if you want a suburban plaza night earlier.
When: September 26, 2026 (4:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.)
Where: Off-site Chicago program (confirm venue on CAMOC listing)
Confirm location, RSVP, and access details on camochicago.org before you go.
