Moon Festival in the Gardens of the World

In September 2025, the Gardens of the World once again celebrated the Chinese Moon Festival on the Confucius Meadow and in the Chinese Garden. A dragon dance with the Lee Sports School, a Kung Fu show, a tea ceremony on the stone boat, and a packed workshop program for children (lantern making, mask painting, calligraphy, paper cutting) characterized the evening. The highlight was the grand lantern procession around 8:55 PM from the Confucius Meadow through the park, accompanied by the red dragon.

As in previous years, admission to the Moon Festival was included in the regular park entry fee (€9 regular, €4 reduced; children under 5 free). Thousands of visitors from Berlin and the Chinese community made the evening one of the most densely attended events of the Berlin autumn calendar — and paved the way for the 2026 edition on September 25th.
