The Year of the Fire Horse does not arrive quietly. It charges in. It calls us to take risks. To reimagine tradition. To speak loudly. To create boldly.

MAF stands for fearless self-expression and justice in motion. In a moment when many feel powerless, we choose to move with purpose. We’re honored to partner with @aaldef—one of the nation’s oldest Asian-American civil rights organizations—to raise funds for their relentless work advancing equity and protecting our communities.

🔥This is the year to be uncontainable.🐴

The Moonlite team has so much to be thankful for, namely the incredible community who make NYC Mid-Autumn Fest happen.

To our VOLUNTEERS: We are awed at how this festival grows every year but that’s only possible because our volunteer team grows every year. From check-in to cleanup, you rock with us even as we scramble to figure it out. Many of you raised your hand to fill a need or came because you know someone who knows someone. That’s how community is built! We love it, and we appreciate it!

To our PERFORMERS: Thank you for sharing your craft and energy on our stage—and with the world. We need it more than ever. You inspired us to start this festival, and we hope to encourage you to keep creating and dreaming!

To our VISUAL ARTISTS: You were the sleeper MVPs of the year. Thank you for the weekends and the work you put in to create the visuals for NYC Mid-Autumn Fest 2025. Your beautiful work elevated the Fest from stage to game room. We plan to keep growing our support for the visual arts community.

To our VENDORS: NYC Mid-Autumn Fest is unimaginable without you. You work as hard as we do to make this festival happen, and we know it! We love your entrepreneurial drive! Keep going! We’re here for it!

To our DONORS & SPONSORS: NYC Mid-Autumn Fest was sparked by a dream, but it’s fueled by your belief in us and your generosity. Thank you for sharing your products, opening your pockets, and investing in our community.

To @mealsforunity: Thank you for having our backs. We hope you know we have yours. This event is just a small way to thank you for what you do for our elders and our community.

To our ATTENDEES: We felt the love at NYC Mid-Autumn Fest 2025, and we hope you felt it in return. Thank you for coming out! Thank you for celebrating with us! Thank you for making it all worth it!

See you all next year! (If not sooner!)

With love and gratitude,
The Moonlite Team
Ben, Rita, Fred, and Justina

It’s a family affair this NYE at @nha_minh 🇻🇳! We’re transforming a Vietnamese restaurant into a club and raising money for the Catskills Agrarian Alliance. Nhà Mình means “our home” in Vietnamese, and we intend to make it feel just like that on NYE 🏡.

How are you going to turn a Vietnamese restaurant into a club? 🧐
* Clearing out the tables
* Renting a sound system
* Bringing a proper controller
* Setting up some lights
* Serving drinks and bánh mì
* Spinning music from 6 talented DJs

The event and DJ sets will be recorded and livestreamed 🎥 More details on this soon!

Proceeds go to the Catskills Agrarian Alliance, an organization connecting local farms with communities to provide fresh food, support food justice, and promote sustainable agriculture. 👨‍🌾

A big thank you to @fredhua at Nhà Mình for letting us use the space! 💯

Thank you to the wonderfully talented @shanntly and @phairyz for the flyer and logo respectively! 👩🏻‍🎨
