Real-time countdown to the Mid-Autumn Festival (August 15th on the lunar calendar) to help you plan your family reunion.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
The Mid-Autumn Festival observed according to the Chinese calendar falls on the fifteenth day of lunar month eight. Its Gregorian date changes from year to year, so a date lookup needs both a lunar-calendar rule and a year. This countdown lets you select a year and converts that lunar date to a Gregorian calendar day.
For example, the Hong Kong Observatory’s 2026 conversion table places lunar month eight, day fifteen on September 25, 2026. That is the festival date used for the countdown. It is not a prediction of a local event time or a public-holiday schedule.
The timer counts toward midnight at the start of the converted date using the device’s local date and time. Its day, hour, minute and second values therefore describe time until that calendar day begins. They do not count down to an evening gathering, a moonrise, or the end of a holiday period.
After the target midnight has passed, the date is treated as past. Use the year controls to view another year. The year is a manual selection; the page does not silently switch to the next upcoming festival.
A lunar festival date is a calendar observance. A government may set a separate public-holiday or work schedule for a jurisdiction, and celebrations may span more than one day. For travel or workplace planning, check the official calendar for the relevant place and year rather than using this countdown as a leave schedule.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
The page begins with the current device year. Use the year controls to move to the year you need.
Confirm the converted calendar date shown for lunar month eight, day fifteen.
Read the remaining time as a countdown to local midnight at the start of that Gregorian day. Device time-zone and clock settings affect the display.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Select the relevant year to see when the Chinese lunar observance begins on the Gregorian calendar, then set a separate reminder for the time of your gathering.
Use the converted festival date as a date reference for a content plan. Verify any regional holiday dates with that jurisdiction’s official schedule.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. The Chinese-calendar date is the fifteenth day of month eight, and its Gregorian equivalent varies by year.
Yes. It targets the start of the converted date according to the device’s local clock and time zone.
No. It shows the festival date and countdown, not a public-holiday or workplace schedule. Check the official schedule for your location.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
The countdown depends on the device date, clock and time zone. Its target is the start of the festival date, not a specific celebration time. Public-holiday arrangements vary by jurisdiction and year; confirm them with the responsible local authority before making travel or work plans.
