September marks the start of this year’s Mid-Autumn festivities, in celebration of the end of the autumn harvest. Family get-togethers are in full swing, with loved ones coming together to indulge in mooncakes and light colourful lanterns.
Joining in the fun is Chinatown Point, where you can hang if you’re too busy to plan a gathering. From now till 30th September 2022, the mall is buzzin’ with festive decorations, exciting activities, and exclusive promotions. Here’s the lowdown on all that’s available:

The Mid-Autumn Festival, or as we like to say, Mooncake Festival, can only mean one thing – it’s time to feast on delicious mooncakes. If you’re looking to stock up on these decadent pastries, or other goodies to line your dining table with treats, Chinatown Point has these promotions available:
The deals don’t stop there. You can also enjoy other deals that include the following:
Rest assured that all that shopping will be rewarded as you can cop an exclusive Chinatown Point Mooncake Cushion with a minimum spend of $128*. You can also redeem a free 1-hour parking when you hit $58*.
*Terms and conditions apply.
In true celebration spirit, the mall has amped up its aesthetic with festive decorations which you can check out at the Outdoor Atrium. Snap a bunch of pictures with the 3m-tall Celestial Rabbit – you can even walk through its “tummy” and for a lil peek-a-boo moment.
For all those times where you went “I wish…”, now’s the time to whip out your wishlist and hit up ‘em wishing bells. Cross your fingers, say a prayer, and gently ring the bell to seal the deal. Here’s to hoping all your wishes come true this full moon!

When you’re done posing with the bunny and wishing bells, head over to the Indoor Atrium to visit the Mid-Autumn Fair. Happening now till 11th September 2022, the fair has plenty of booths where you can purchase mooncakes from the likes of Capitol Kempinski and The St. Regis Singapore, and get beautiful lanterns from Kid Forte to deck your house with.

If you have an aspiring Picasso at home, or are one yourself, take the chance to show off your skills at the annual lantern painting competition happening on 4th September 2022 at 9am. Participants will gather at the Indoor and Outdoor Atrium, where plain lanterns will be provided. Remember to bring along your own painting materials so you can go all out with your creativity.

Then, check out the mask changing performance at the Indoor Atrium at 1.30pm on the same day. Don’t blink an eye as the mysterious performancer switches up their mask multiple times. Paired together with this are song performances by Singapore’s getai pro Zhang Xiong, where he’ll be belting out some enchanting tunes.
Wrap up your time at the mall with musical performances by the scholars from Teng Academy, where they will be presenting pieces on Chinese traditional instruments such as the Dizi and Erhu.
Chinatown Point is nothing short of fun, with the entrance decked out with festive decorations, entertaining performances, and tonnes of deals to enjoy. Remember to set aside time between now and 30th September 2022 to drop by the mall with your friends and family and fully immerse in the merriment.
P.S. Don’t forget to look up and admire the full moon, as it’s said to be the roundest and brightest during this period. Maybe you’ll even spot Chang’e chilling with her bunny.
