Nassau-Suffolk, NY (1888PressRelease) September 27, 2012 - This time honored tradition from China will take place on Friday, September 28, 2012, in the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (AUPAC), Concert Hall, 1 South Avenue, Garden City, NY. Traditional moon cake will be given to all attendees.

Appreciating the moon has been custom since the Tang Dynasty (618-906 b.c.) originated in China. Today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, families gather to pray to the moon for a good harvest. Join the cultural exchange as the CSSA and Pi Lambda Phi celebrate this tradition with performances reflecting old and new customs. This event reflects not only an important tradition of China, but also the tenets of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity's mission to "eliminate prejudice."
