Yesterday Bostonist caught the August Moon Festival in Chinatown. From tiny turtles to mooncakes to hung gar to lion drumming to traditional Chinese folk dancing, we experienced a variety of aspects of Chinese culture. The Moon Festival is traditionally held to celebrate summer's harvest. Check out the dancing, martial arts, and drumming we saw on Sunday. Also check out photos from shoothead and in the viewfinder, who were there as well, and keep an eye on the Bostonist photo pool because we're sure more festival photos will pop up! more ›
