  This year, QARI brings the festival to YOU!

  For 32 years, Quincy Asian Resources, Inc. (QARI) has been proud to partner with the City of Quincy to host the annual August Moon Festival, Quincy’s Signature Event for the month of August. COVID-19 has brought about unprecedented changes in many of our lives. Though we are saddened that AMF 2020 cannot happen in-person this year, we will be utilizing online platforms to bring the festival home to your families!

  What is the August Moon Festival?

  The August Moon Festival is a momentous holiday that celebrates the harvest and the moon as symbols of prosperity, happiness and unity in Asian culture. This festival is one of the largest August Moon Festivals in the Northeast, bringing together over 20,000 guests from all over Massachusetts for a celebration of music, arts, culture, and community spirit. 

  What format will the AMF be in?

  We will be utilizing online platforms to bring the festival TO YOU! Tune in on Zoom, YouTube, QATV, and Facebook for 90 mins of live performances and speakers.

  We look forward to joining The City of Quincy, our generous sponsors, and YOU every year as we celebrate what makes Quincy a place we can all call home!

  Who can attend AMF?

  Anyone! It’s geared towards all ages and completely free!
