Moon Festival 2008 | Lake Eola Amphitheatre

Here are some photos from the 2008 Moon Festival. What is the festival?
"This is an annual event celebrating the Mid Autumn Moon Festival that the community puts on. For more info about the festival visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Autumn_Festival. It's kind of a smaller cousin of the annual Lunar New Year festival in the spring. Usually the temples and churches put on smaller events and gear it towards children and have a lantern parade.
There is no Moon Festival for 2009 unfortunately, and here's the explanation from a board member of the group that puts on this event:
Due to budget constraints this year however, we are not going to host the Orlando Moon Festival but instead in November we will be hosting a Asian American Youth Scholarship Gala at the downtown Sheraton which should be an amazing event as well.
