Join us for a season of light, laughter, and togetherness – with beloved traditions and fresh new experiences to enjoy together. Return for the Lantern Design Competition and Mass Lantern Walk, and look forward to something new this year: Lantern Riddles in all four of Singapore’s official languages, and a heartwarming new segment, “Light a Lantern, Share Your Blessing”, where the community comes together through light and good wishes.

From 11 September to 4 October, visit booths at Kreta Ayer Community Club and various grassroots events to write your personal well-wishes on lanterns.

The main celebration takes place on 19 September at 6pm at Kreta Ayer Square, featuring a Community Lantern Procession, a mooncake and tea appreciation session, and lantern riddles in Singapore’s four official languages. Can’t make it to the main event? Smaller celebrations will also be held at River Place, Havelock View, and Chin Swee-Hong Lim.

Note: There will be no large-format lanterns for Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival 2026

And yes – the iconic street lantern decorations will be back, just in time for Chinese New Year. 🧧
