Over 1,000 visitors descended upon a night bazaar in Wan Chai, to buy street food and gaze at the moon.
Also known as the mooncake festival, it marks the end of harvest time, and is when many East and Southeast Asian cultures believe the moon to be at its brightest and fullest.
Local neighbourhoods came to life with lantern exhibitions, games, palm readings and traditional theatre, whilst families reunited to share mooncakes and meals together.
Lee Tung Avenue held an LED Fire Dragon Fiesta, featuring an 18-metre long illuminated dragon, on Friday.
