A must-do for kids during the Mid-Autumn Festival is an evening with lantern in hand. You can organise your own intimate lantern outing or join in one of the mass lantern walks in Singapore 2019 with others. Both can be equally fun for kids (who we suspect are just happy to stay up past bedtime).
If you want to get in on the Mid-Autumn Festival fun and join other in an atmospheric celebration, here are some lantern walks in Singapore 2019 you can participate in.
Whether your lantern preference is a traditional cellophane lantern or a modern LED version, pick up your illumination device of choice, make plans for a lantern walk and, perhaps, even make a few new friends along the way.
