SF’s Chinatown “Autumn Moon Festival” (Sept. 27-28) + 2025 Grand Parade Start Date: Saturday 9/27/2025 — End Date: Sunday 9/28/2025 Admission:FREE Get ready for the 35th Annual Autumn Moon Festival. This highly anticipated event will take place on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. The festival will take place on Grant Avenue, between California and Broadway, where attendees will see a variety of exciting activities, including arts and crafts vendors, delicious food stalls, live music, local contemporary entertainment, mooncakes, lion dancing, and more. The festivities will kick off on Saturday (9/27/25) with a grand parade at 11:00 am, led by beauty queens, cultural performers, and lion dancers. Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Yau Kung Moon Association will present a lion dance and martial arts performance, setting the stage for a day filled with diverse and exciting entertainment. The 2025 theme is Monkey King to celebrate this mythical character known as Sun Wukong. The Monkey King will make a special appearance at this year’s Autumn Moon Festival along with acrobatic followers of the Shaolin monks on both Saturday and Sunday.
