In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Fraser Valley Neighbourhood Association hosted the Mid Autumn Festival in Surrey, welcoming residents, families, and local leaders to an evening of lanterns, stories, and cultural traditions. The gathering combined the association’s milestone with the beauty of a festival rooted in harvest moon traditions.
Guests enjoyed live performances, lantern displays, cultural demonstrations, and community activities that highlighted the festival’s heritage — a time when people traditionally gather to give thanks, share mooncakes, and celebrate unity under the autumn moon. The association invited participants to light lanterns, witness performances, and connect with neighbours in a warm festive atmosphere.
The anniversary theme resonated throughout the evening as members recalled the association’s beginnings and its growth in community work, local organizing, and cultural outreach. Local residents, artists, and city representatives were present to show support and to reaffirm the association’s role in fostering neighbourhood connection.
As night fell, lanterns glowed softly, laughter echoed, and the community celebrated not only a festival but ten years of collective effort — a milestone achieved through collaboration, cultural pride, and shared future vision.
