The Moon Fest, in Bristol, will showcase a range of East and South East Asian (ESEA) talent.
A new arts and culture festival hopes to create "a safe space" for the East and South East Asian community.The day-long event will play host to a line-up of musicians, visual artists and dancers alongside food and crafts.
"I hope this will bring more Asian representation to the events scene in Bristol," said founder Monica Wat.Image caption,"I used to celebrate Mid-Autumn festival with my uncle and grandmother back in Hong Kong," she said."I didn't have any friends to celebrate with when I first arrived here, it was quite lonely and I remember buying a mooncake for myself from an Asian supermarket to feel a bit more festive.
Now, she has made many friends and forged connections with creative and community organisations across the city, and she wants to give others the same opportunity."I am so proud to be a part of this festival especially as a mixed Filipino person who has grown up in the UK," said Ms Appleby.
Moon Fest is produced by Made on the Moon - a new production and artist collective, led by Ms Wat and presented by East and South East Asian Solidarity . The group formed in May 2021 from the need to create a friendly space for the ESEA community in the city.
