2021 Dominion Rd Moon Festival
Rabbit Art and Hunt

An invitation to children, families, schools and community groups – Everyone!

In East Asia, the Jade (Moon) Rabbit is a widespread cultural symbol. Jade Rabbit is the companion to the moon goddess, Chang'e. According to legend, it lives on the moon constantly pounding the elixir of life for Chang'e. In Korean or Japanese folklore, Jade Rabbit is busy preparing ingredients for making rice cakes. It is said that both Chang'e and Jade Rabbit can usually be seen in full view during the Moon Festival (15th day of the 8th Moon in the Lunar calendar) when the moon is at its largest and brightest.

In keeping with the spirit of Moon festival, we invite children, schools and community groups to join in the fun of creating rabbit friends to support Jade Rabbit during the 2021 Dominion Rd Moon Festival (Fri, 17 Sep – Sun, 19 2021).

It’s also a way of showing support for our local businesses and community.
