I've seen a lot of people post about this. I know of the equinox, but not this particular festival.

Just copied the information below!Why Is It Called the Harvest Moon? Usually, Full Moon names reflect the time of year they happen. And, true enough, the Harvest Moon graces the skies in the harvest season in the Northern Hemisphere. There is also an astronomical reason why the Full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon.

Yesterday, my daughter looked at the sky and said that the sky was a beautiful royal blue... How beautiful that sounded.
