The Tacoma Moon Festival was started by The Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation (CRPF) to share the Mid-Autumn Festival and the legend of the Chinese Moon Princess with the Tacoma community. Every year, visitors are encouraged to attend performances, buy from local vendors, and participate in various themed activities as they learn about these beautiful cultural traditions and their history.
