About Moon Festival
The Moon Festival, a tradition that dates back thousands of years, is held on or around the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar, when the moon is full. At this time, the moon is at its fullest and brightest, and it’s a time when Asian families come together to celebrate the abundance of the summer’s harvest. The Moon Festival, also called the Mid-Autumn Festival, is the second most important day on the Chinese lunar calendar. The holiday is observed by most Asian countries including Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, and the two Koreas. The original purpose of the Moon Festival was to celebrate the end of the harvest season. However, the Moon Festival carries a profound symbolic meaning that makes it very important to all Asian people. It is a celebration of maternal bonding and family. On that day, friends and family—no matter where they live in the world—gather for one special reunion dinner. The night ends with the viewing of the majestic moon, accompanied by special servings of moon cake.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
