Stretch your moon-gazing activity for a day longer past Mid-Autumn festival, because a glowing Harvest Moon will be appearing in our skies a day after the occasion on October 7, 2025. History repeats itself once again in a happy coincidence, as last year’s Harvest Moon also occurred a night after Mid-Autumn festival.
This Harvest Moon is the first supermoon of the year, and will soon be followed by the Beaver Moon and Cold Moon in November and December, respectively. It’ll start rising after 7pm, but it should be best seen after 8pm through the night when the sky is fully dark – provided that October’s rainy weather holds off for a bit. Fingers crossed that no cheeky clouds will get in the way of the scene.
During these nights, Lights by the Lake at Jurong Lake Gardens and Gardens by the Bay’s annual Mid-Autumn light-up will both still be up and running with their massive lantern sculptures and garden illuminations. We suggest making a whole outing of it and admiring the Harvest Moon with your loved ones at these free-entry events.
But that’s not all – we’re in for a double treat over these few days. Keep your eyes open for the Draconid meteor shower from October 7 to 10, with peak viewing on October 8 after 8pm. The Draconids will be slightly harder to spot, so you’ll want to be in a pitch-dark area devoid of bright city lights for that.
