Enter the Many Moons Festival, bringing food, shopping and culture this Saturday, Oct. 4 to Sebastopol’s Ives Park, organized by the Asian-American Pacific Islander Coalition, North Bay. The moon is many things in Asian traditions, goddess, calendar, yin, concepts varying with each culture. Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders celebrate the moon’s importance to the autumn season in some of their most sacred traditions, from the Mid-Autumn Festival to Diwali to Ramadan. Connecting these richly varied Asian groups with the greater community of Sonoma County so we can all get a little better at enjoying each other’s culture? Many Moons Festival runs from 11am to 7pm on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Ives Park, 7400 Willow St., Sebastopol.
