Many moons ago, Chinese Gardens was our go-to place when the Mid-Autumn Festival came around. Therefore, we were excited to see that there would be Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations at Jurong Lake Gardens, complete with lanterns and festive activities, taking place from 6 to 15 September 2019.

Just in time for the September school holidays 2019, the Mid-Autumn Festival at Jurong Lake Gardens is less expansive than its bigger cousin at Gardens by the Bay. On the plus side, we enjoyed the thinner crowds at Jurong Lake Gardens while out on an enjoyable stroll amidst the lanterns.

Here are some of the highlights you can look forward to in the evenings at the park.

Lanterns at Jurong Lake Gardens

The lanterns at Jurong Lake Gardens light up the northern end of Lakeside Gardens.
