Overview

Mooncakes, ramen, fried ice cream, taiyaki, DJs and immersive light projections. These are all part of the Darling Square Moon Festival that's taking over the Haymarket precinct from Thursday, August 25-Sunday, September 11. The traditional Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival will be celebrated over the 18 days of festivities, with some of Darling Square's beloved restaurants and bars whipping up special celebrations for the festival.

From Thursday, September 1, the Gong Grocer mooncake stall will be popping up in front of Nina Tea, with special mooncakes from the likes of Wing Wah, Meixin, and Golden Century's XOPP who will roll out its popular lava mooncakes.

Elsewhere, Auvers Cafe has created themed custard mooncake and soft shell crab dishes, IIKO Mazesoba is offering limited-time ramen, mochi taiyaki and tuna kakiage creations, Wingboy is serving up fried salted caramel ice cream served with coconut crumb and chocolate fudge sauce, and Chinta Ria has crafted three celebratory set menus named Love, Peace and Happiness.

An immersive art cube installation will also be popping up between September 7–11, depicting the scenery of South Korea across the four seasons.
