Holiday Notice – National Day & Mid-Autumn Festival

China’s National Day, celebrated every year on October 1, marks the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. It is one of the country’s most important public holidays, symbolizing unity, prosperity, and national pride. Across the nation, people celebrate with flag-raising ceremonies, fireworks displays, parades, and festive decorations. Major cities and landmarks are illuminated with vibrant lighting, creating a jubilant atmosphere that reflects the country’s progress and vitality. For TFB Lighting, this celebration holds special meaning, as our expertise in architectural and landscape lighting contributes to the brightness and beauty of cities during this remarkable time of year.

Coinciding with National Day this year is the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, one of China’s most cherished traditional celebrations. The festival dates back more than 3,000 years and is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is believed to be at its fullest and brightest. It is a time for family reunions, gratitude, and reflection, symbolizing harmony and completeness. Families gather to admire the moon, enjoy mooncakes—a traditional pastry filled with sweet or savory ingredients—and share heartfelt wishes for happiness and togetherness. The round shape of the mooncakes and the full moon both represent unity and the enduring bonds between loved ones, even when separated by distance.

For TFB Lighting, this festival also serves as an inspiration, as light itself represents warmth, connection, and celebration—the same spirit that the Mid-Autumn Festival embodies. Just as moonlight brings serenity and beauty to the night, we strive to create lighting solutions that enhance spaces and connect people through illumination.
