For one September evening, three traditions came together beneath the same moon.

In the gardens of Restelo, House of Beloved gathered to celebrate China's Mid-Autumn Festival, Korea's Chuseok, and Japan's Tsukimi — three traditions honoring gratitude, reunion, and the changing seasons.

Paper lanterns illuminated the garden as guests shared Chinese dumplings, homemade Korean dishes, fragrant teas, and traditional mooncakes. The evening continued with Japanese Bon Odori, dancing together to the Lisbon Ondo, created by Beniko Tanaka.

A celebration of the ties between culture and belonging, of traditions carried across oceans, and of the beauty of finding a little piece of home somewhere new.
