    September Full Harvest Moon 2024

    The September Full Moon, known as the Harvest Moon, occurs on September 17 and 18. During this time, the Moon is at the nearest point in its orbit around Earth. As summer begins to wane and the days gradually shorten, the Harvest Moon graces the night sky, offering farmers and communities a time to reap the rewards of their labor and celebrate the fruits of the earth. This is why it is popularly known as the Harvest Moon.
