Join us in celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival at PEM! In Chinese tradition, this festival involves gathering together with family to mark the end of the harvest season, admire the beauty of the full moon and eat holiday foods, including mooncakes. Learn how to make your own no-bake mooncakes with the guidance of experts from a featured local restaurant, and go on a special after-hours tour of Yin Yu Tang.
Create Nights take place on the third Thursday of every month and are led by a PEM educator or local guest artist.
