Cross-Community & Alumni Network Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration: Community, Culture & Connection
Hosted by Alma Atma Network
Venue Sponsor: Silicon Valley Bank (SVB)
Join us for a magical evening under the moonlit sky at the recently renovated Silicon Valley Bank Experience Center as we celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival — a time-honored tradition symbolizing reunion, harmony, harvest, and gratitude.
✨The festival has long brought together families, friends, and communities to admire the beauty of the full moon, share stories and laughter, and celebrate meaningful human connection.
Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy:
🍽️ A buffet-style dinner featuring a delicious array of Chinese dishes
🥮 A curated selection of mooncakes
🏮Red lanterns and festive décor
🤝 A warm and welcoming atmosphere for zero-pressure connection
🎻 A special musical performance of The Silicon Island presented by Owens Huang’s (OHNomad) team
🎼 As an elegant highlight of the evening — and a thoughtful connection between SF Tech Week and the festival — The Silicon Island will be performed by a seven-musician ensemble featuring one flutist, two cellists, two violists and two violinists, bringing together artistic expression and contemporary creativity in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
🌙 Let us gather under the full moon to celebrate culture, community, and lasting memories together.
