2026 Mid-Autumn Festival: Major celebrations, major chances for publishers’ breakthroughs
Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most culturally significant holidays in East and Southeast Asia.
In 2026, it falls on September 25 across Vietnam, China, and Taiwan, and lands close to South Korea’s Chuseok holiday. The weeks before it bring some of the heaviest gifting, food, and travel spend of the year, as families buy mooncakes and gift sets, plan reunions, or travel home for the holiday.
