Do you know why? Here is why:

Many Chinese still think the Chinese Moon Festival is on the full moon day of mid-autumn. More than 50% chance, the moon full day is on the 16th moon day of a lunar month. It's interesting that the full moon day is on 17th moon day of the 8th lunar month in China time zone and the full moon day is on 16th moon day in USA time zones this year.

This is also true and why:

Sometimes, we can hear some Chinese say that the moon in USA is much bigger (round) than the moon in China. We should respect those people own a pair of good eyes. If people watch the moon at the Moon Festival night in USA, they can really see a bigger moon than at the Moon Festival night in China. In year 2000, for example, It's much closer to the full moon time 9-13-00 11:38 in PST than 9-14-00 03:38 in China on the night of 9-12-00.

Does anyone know why we eat moon cakes?

During the Yuan dynasty (A.D.1280-1368) China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung dynasty (A.D.960-1280) were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes. Backed into each moon cake was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government. What followed was the establishment of the Ming dynasty (A.D. 1368-1644). Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this legend.
