STCS prepared drinks, pizza and handmade moon cakes for everyone.
This event was mainly for local Chinese parents and children to gather to celebrate one of the important Chinese traditional days, the mid-autumn full moon festival day. Program includes kids singing, Tibetan dance, kid's violin solo, and some professional performance, such as Beijing opera 拾玉鐲, traditional short play of martial arts repertoire 三岔口, and a bamboo flute solo, performed by artists from Binghamton SUNY Confucius Institute, and my guqin playing and poetry recitation, etc.
After the music program, there's moon observation through telescopes at the open field. I was pretty excited to see the full moon through a telescope, that was my first life time experience, very impressed. After seeing the moon, we followed mom and dad's car and drove down the mountain. When we get closer to BU, there was fire works going on, but not sure from where exactly, and for what event. Yet, it seemed drawing a nice ending for my first weekend of October.
