11am ~ 3pm, 7th (Sat) Sep 2024 @ Ancient Market Place Kingston KT1 1JS
In collaboration with Kingston Beats and KCA, KBCE proudly presents the ESEA Culture Festival, celebrating the vibrant diversity of East and Southeast Asian heritage in Kingston.
The festival begins with the Autumn Moon Festival, a captivating event that blends delightful live performances, interactive demonstrations, and engaging audience participation. Across various countries, ESEA communities honour this cherished tradition under different names: the Moon Festival in China, Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong, Tsukimi in Japan, Chuseok in Korea, and Têt Trung Thu in Vietnam. To honour this tradition, we gather every September at the Ancient Market Place in Kingston to celebrate together.
