------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Autumn Moon Festival, the best-loved festival in Chinese culture will be brought to Second Life™ at the Shiki sim on September 14th. Dating back over 3000 years, the festival is a cultural and visual feast. On the night of the brightest and fullest autumn moon, cities and villages glow with beautifully made lanterns hung from houses, shops and temples and carried by children as they walk along the streets. Today the festival is not only lit by the traditional lanterns, but also by elaborate floats and whimsical light shows. Lanterns are made by children and adults from paper or silk and are decorated with traditional scenes from history.
Known for extravagant events in SL™, Shiki promises Moonglow will be no exception. This two hour event begins with the Moon Masquerade, a fashion show where the best-dressed Moon God and Goddess on the moonwalk will win L$1000 each.
Contestants will be dressed as moon deities from their own cultures, giving them a chance share the charm of their homelands with the eclectic, east-west mix at Shiki. Second hour combines the remarkable sound of recording artist MoShang Zhao with the spectacular light and dance presentation known as ChangHigh Trinity Sisters Fireshow. Guest of the festival may also enter a lantern making contest as they enjoy the event and the rich, cosmopolitan surroundings of Shiki sim.
