September just got a whole lot more exciting! The Dallas Police Department Northeast Neighborhood Police Officers are throwing the city’s second annual Moon Fest, and it’s shaping up to be the cultural celebration Dallas has been waiting for.

What Makes This Festival Special
This event celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, a deeply rooted tradition in many Asian cultures, honoring the harvest season and family gatherings. Think of it as Dallas’s way of bringing centuries-old Asian traditions right to your backyard with a Texas twist.
The festival celebrates what moon festivals have always been about: bringing communities together to honor the harvest season and strengthen family bonds. Now Dallas gets to be part of this beautiful tradition.
