  "summary": "Jurong Lake Gardens in Singapore is set to become a spectacular Mid-Autumn Festival celebration from September 19 to 27, 2026. The National Parks Board (NParks) has transformed the gardens into a glowing wonderland, inspired by the Chinese folktale, The Legend Of The White Snake. The festival, known as Lights by the Lake, will feature lantern displays, performances, concerts, heritage exhibitions, and a food market. Visitors can participate in lantern-making activities, attend movie screenings, and explore a lantern trail. The nine-day festival, which coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, will take place across the Chinese, Japanese, and Lakeside gardens, with the lantern and light displays remaining on display until October 4.",
