The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the Chinese mainland's most beloved cultural celebrations, marking a time to reunite under the full moon. In 2025, China Media Group (CMG) invites a global audience to join the festivities in Deyang, Sichuan.
Scheduled for mid-September, the CMG gala will feature traditional lion dances, ethereal lantern displays, and live renditions of folk songs. Interactive installations powered by AR technology will let virtual attendees feel the magic of Deyang's lantern-lit streets in real time.
"We aim to bridge cultures through the universal language of celebration," says a CMG representative. "This gala blends centuries-old customs with cutting-edge media to connect people across borders."
For entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts, the gala showcases the Chinese mainland's growing leadership in digital storytelling. Startups are unveiling new XR platforms to stream the event, promising immersive 360° experiences. And for travelers, Deyang's historic temples and culinary scene offer a sustainable, off-the-beaten-path adventure.
As mooncakes are passed and lanterns soar, the 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala becomes more than a show—it's a global conversation about tradition, innovation, and community. Whether you're joining in person or tuning in online, this celebration shines a spotlight on our shared human heritage.
