Harvest moon Sept 16th
"The Harvest Moon is the one that comes the closest to the autumnal equinox, so this year it falls in September.
The 2016 version of the Harvest Moon comes six days prior to the autumnal equinox.
What sets the Harvest Moon apart from other full moons, is that it occurs at the climax of the harvest season, so farmers can work late into the night by the moon's light. This full moon rises at about the time the sun sets, giving its golden colour."
