• Mooncakes and lanterns (while supplies last, starting at 5 p.m.)

The event is free, family-friendly and open to all. On-site event parking is available at no cost. Guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets, and picnics.

The 2024 event is proudly supported by the City of Santa Ana’s title level partners and local non-profits, Asian American Senior Citizens Services Center and Project Kinship.
