From now until the 25th September 2026, the north-east region’s largest shopping mall is rolling out an extensive programme of activities, blending age-old traditions with modern twists. Whether you are hunting for innovative pastry flavours or looking to stroll under a canopy of stars, there is plenty to keep families and friends entertained.

At the heart of the celebrations is a deliberate focus on communal connection, pairing the nostalgia of lunar folklore with contemporary lifestyle experiences. From hands-on creative craft workshops to nostalgic games reimagined for the modern shopper, the month-long showcase offers a multi-sensory gathering point for neighbours and visitors alike. It sets an inviting stage where multi-generational families can bond over shared traditions, lively friendly competition, and an indulgent showcase of the season’s most anticipated culinary craftsmanship

The Return of the TANGS Mid-Autumn Fair

Foodies will want to make a beeline for the Level 1 Atrium, where the beloved TANGS Mid-Autumn Fair runs daily from 10am to 10pm (opening at midday on 4 September). Featuring over 20 brands, the market brings together classic favourites and boundary-pushing creations.

Among the highlights, homegrown bakery La Levain is showcasing its Momoyama Cantonese Mooncakes. Crafted with a reduced-sugar recipe and delicate Momoyama skin, flavours range from the floral Mixed Berry Lotus with Raspberry Rose to the pistachio-kunafa-inspired Chocolate Lotus with Pistachio Crunch. Meanwhile, Fairmont Singapore is marking its landmark 40th anniversary with an exclusive Assorted Mini Snowskin Mooncake Set housed in a heritage keepsake box, featuring standout flavours like Dubai Chocolate and Pandan Bliss.

For those seeking novelty, Pinch Bakehouse introduces a Mochi Brownie Mooncake in Pistachio, while Home’s Favourite leans into rich, nutty textures with its Snow Skin Moonlit Pistachio variant. Goodwood Park Hotel also brings a touch of folklore to the table with its Jade Bunny Snowskin Set, shaped like the legendary Jade Rabbit to symbolise harmony and good health.

Visitors looking to do more than just graze can take part in the Eight Bites Trail, sampling treats across eight designated booths—including Gin Thye, Tai Chong Kok, and Comvita—to collect “mooncake slices” on a specially designed card and redeem a free Sanrio lantern.

Interactive Activations and AI Photo Memories

Head up to Level 3 (outside Yue Hwa) from now until 20th September to dive into the mall’s interactive zones. Operating daily from 12pm to 9pm, the Moonlit Moments activation invites shoppers with steady hands to race against the clock in the Mooncake Packing Game, using oversized chopsticks to pack life-sized pastries.

Tech enthusiasts can step into the AI Portrait Photo Booth, which transports visitors back in time through various digital eras—from ancient royalty to 1960s mod chic—generating shareable snapshots and animated keepsakes via QR code. Both experiences can be unlocked with a minimum spend of $30 in a single transaction.

Brain-teaser fans can test their wits at the Interactive Lantern Riddle Wall on the same floor from 10am to 10pm. Accessible via QR code in both English and Chinese, participants can solve ten riddles, with a live LED leaderboard tracking the fastest solvers. The top 10 players walk away with $50 eNEXvouchers.

An Evening Under the Stars

For a truly atmospheric experience, the Level 4 Rooftop hosts the Moonlight Gathering on 19 and 20 September. Running across two evening sessions per day (7.15pm and 8.15pm), this lantern-lit stroll features dazzling fairy lights, festive decor, exclusive goodie bags, and a special meet-and-greet with the resident Rabbit mascot. Shoppers who spend $30 in a single transaction can redeem a pass for a pair.

With so much on offer, NEX proves to be a vibrant community hub this September, seamlessly blending festive heritage with contemporary fun.
