Communities engage with traditional storytelling during the Harvest Moon Festival by sharing folktales and legends that reflect their cultural heritage. This festival celebrates the full moon and the harvest season, creating an atmosphere where elders narrate stories that emphasize themes of gratitude, nature, and community. Participants often gather outdoors, fostering an appreciation for both oral traditions and the seasonal connection to agriculture. Activities may include performances of traditional songs and dances that bring these stories to life, enhancing community bonds and encouraging younger generations to engage with their roots.
