2026年中秋佳節，Together HK CIC 同心會喺 Harrow 舉辦咗一場充滿歡笑同溫暖嘅中秋節社區活動，吸引約 250位居民及家庭成員參與，一齊感受香港傳統節日嘅文化魅力。
中秋節唔單止係賞月、食月餅嘅日子，更象徵團圓、分享同連繫。即使遠離香港，我哋仍然希望將熟悉嘅文化同節日氣氛帶到英國，讓下一代有機會認識自己嘅文化根源，同時讓不同背景嘅家庭互相交流。
Together HK CIC proudly hosted a heartwarming Mid-Autumn Festival community celebration in Harrow in 2026, welcoming approximately 250 participants, including local residents, children and families, to celebrate Hong Kong's rich cultural traditions.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is more than a celebration of the full moon and mooncakes. It symbolises reunion, sharing and togetherness. Through this event, we hoped to bring familiar traditions to the UK, inspire younger generations to connect with their cultural heritage, and encourage friendships among families from different backgrounds.
🥮 中秋節的歷史與意義
The History and Meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival
中秋節是中華文化中最重要的傳統節日之一，已有悠久歷史，每年農曆八月十五，正值月圓之時，象徵家庭團聚、和諧美滿。
傳統習俗包括賞月、吃月餅、提燈籠，以及家喻戶曉的嫦娥奔月傳說。圓月寄託着人們對遠方親人的思念，亦提醒我們珍惜身邊的人與每一次相聚。
對於在英國成長的下一代，我們希望透過親身體驗，讓小朋友認識節日背後的文化故事，讓傳統不只停留在書本之中，而是成為生活中值得珍惜的回憶。
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional celebrations in Chinese culture, with a history spanning centuries. Celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the full moon symbolises family reunion, harmony and happiness.
Traditional customs include moon gazing, sharing mooncakes, carrying lanterns and telling the legendary story of Chang’e. The full moon also reminds us of loved ones who may be far away and the importance of cherishing time together.
For children growing up in the UK, we hope to bring these traditions to life through meaningful experiences, helping them understand their cultural roots and create lasting memories.
🎉 活動精彩亮點
Event Highlights
今年的中秋節家庭同樂日融合了傳統文化、藝術表演、親子手作與香港地道美食，讓不同年齡及文化背景的參加者一同感受節日的歡樂氣氛。
活動當日，我們特別安排了精彩的傳統中樂團演奏及舞龍表演，讓大家近距離欣賞中華傳統藝術的魅力。悠揚的中樂旋律與熱鬧的舞龍，為現場增添濃厚的節日氣氛。
親子手作亦是今次活動的一大特色，包括中秋燈籠製作及創意杯墊工作坊。大小朋友一邊動手創作，一邊認識傳統節日文化，在歡笑中享受珍貴的親子時光。
當然，少不了令人懷念的香港地道小食！熟悉的家鄉味道，不單讓香港家庭重溫美好回憶，亦讓本地居民有機會認識香港獨特的飲食文化。
Our Mid-Autumn Festival Family Event brought together traditional culture, live performances, creative workshops and authentic Hong Kong food, creating a joyful experience for families of all ages and backgrounds.
The celebration featured wonderful traditional Chinese music performances and an energetic dragon dance, giving participants the opportunity to experience the beauty and excitement of Chinese performing arts.
Families also enjoyed lantern-making and creative coaster workshops, where children and parents could explore their creativity while learning about traditional festival customs.
And of course, no celebration would be complete without authentic Hong Kong-style snacks! These familiar flavours brought back fond memories for Hong Kong families while introducing local residents to our vibrant food culture.
🌕 月圓人團圓・連繫社區情
Together Under One Moon, Connected as One Community
中秋節最珍貴的意義，是「團圓」。
對於不少移居英國的香港家庭而言，親人可能遠在千里之外，但我們相信，團圓不一定只限於血緣關係。透過社區相聚、互相認識與支持，我們同樣可以在異鄉建立如家人般溫暖的連繫。
「遠親不如近鄰」——正正是我們希望透過今次活動帶出的訊息。
Together HK CIC 同心會希望每一次文化活動，都不只是一場節日慶祝，更是一個讓不同背景的家庭建立友誼、互相扶持及融入本地社區的機會。
我們希望將香港文化傳承給下一代，同時讓更多本地朋友認識和欣賞我們的傳統，讓文化成為連結不同社群的橋樑。
The most meaningful message of the Mid-Autumn Festival is togetherness.
For many Hong Kong families who have settled in the UK, loved ones may be thousands of miles away. Yet we believe that togetherness extends beyond family ties. Through friendship, mutual support and community connections, we can create a warm and welcoming environment that feels like home.
As a traditional saying reminds us, “A good neighbour is better than a distant relative.”
At Together HK CIC, we believe every cultural celebration is an opportunity to build friendships, strengthen local support networks and bring people from different backgrounds closer together.
By sharing Hong Kong’s traditions with the wider community, we hope to preserve our cultural heritage while creating a stronger, more inclusive and connected society.
