A crowd turned out for Sunday’s 53rd August Moon Festival in Chinatown, organized by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of New England (CCBA).

The day-long event included lion dancing in the streets, martial arts demonstrations and traditional Chinese music, singing and dancing.

The festival can be traced back to 771 BCE, according to organizers, and celebrates the rice and wheat harvest during the August moon.
