Cadillac Fairview is hosting Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations at two of its shopping centres. The events, taking place at CF Markville in Markham and CF Richmond Centre in Richmond, are part of an effort by the landlord to attract Chinese shoppers.

There are significant Chinese populations in both Markham and Richmond. Markham boasts the highest visible minority population of any major Canadian city at 78%.

The event in Markham is a collaboration with the Chinese Collective Arts Association. Visitors can enjoy captivating displays and engaging activities suitable for all ages. On September 14th and 21st, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, the Centre Court near Uniqlo will come alive with dazzling dance performances showcasing various Chinese dance styles by local artists.

CF Richmond Centre has partnered with Angel Entertainment for its cultural event. The Main Galleria will host special dance performances on the same dates, September 14th and 21st, from 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm.

Both shopping centres are offering exclusive Mid-Autumn Festival passports to enhance the experience. Shoppers can collect themed stamps during the events for a chance to win CF SHOP! cards and prizes from center retailers. The passports include a scavenger hunt, guiding participants to food vendors and unique retailers throughout the malls.

Visitors are encouraged to capture memories of the festivities by taking pictures with lion and rabbit displays or in front of festival-themed backdrops. CF Richmond Centre is also offering a lantern-making workshop as part of its celebration.

As a major player in the Canadian real estate landscape, CF manages over 36 million square feet of leasable space across 68 landmark properties in Canada.
