The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, which falls on September 22 or 23 of each year. The moon is high, bright, and rises early. The Harvest Moon may come in September or October.

The Harvest Moon was named so because farmers in the past relied on its light to extend their work hours after sunset to prepare for the current season of plowing the land and sowing seeds before the rains fell, so this moon was a sight awaited by farmers. It was also called the "Harvest Moon".
