中秋亚洲市集融合文化、养生与烟草预防教育
波特兰华人联谊会携手兰苏园，连接社区、促进健康
2026年9月25日至27日，由波特兰华人联谊会（CFAP）与兰苏园（Lan Su Chinese Garden）合作举办的中秋亚洲市集圆满举行。为期三天的活动融合亚洲美食、传统手工、中华养生及社区资源，吸引了本地居民以及来自美国各地和加拿大的游客，现场气氛热烈。
在兰苏园古典园林的优美环境中，游客逛市集、品美食、参与手工体验，在交流互动中感受中秋文化。活动也为社区健康教育提供了亲切、开放的平台，让公众在参与节庆活动的同时，接触健康知识与实用资源。
传统中医与养生体验是本次市集的一大亮点。参与机构包括美国国立自然医学大学（NUNM）、Lake Oswego中医诊所（TCM Clinic at Lake Oswego）、Haosheng Acupuncture、Pearl Acupuncture & Wellness Center，以及多家本地养生服务机构。中医及健康从业者与NUNM师生共同提供中医咨询、针灸、推拿体验和养生示范，让游客近距离了解中华传统养生文化，并围绕压力管理与健康生活方式展开交流。
联谊会将商业烟草危害预防教育融入市集，通过符合社区文化与语言需求的宣传资料，以及双语“科普小测试和问卷”（Educational Quiz & Survey），与游客开展一对一交流。互动内容围绕烟草危害、预防知识及戒烟资源，鼓励公众主动提问、参与学习。这种结合文化活动与健康教育的方式，有助于接触平时较少参与烟草预防项目的社区成员。
此次活动也加强了联谊会与中医从业者及教育机构之间的联系，为后续开展符合社区文化需求的戒烟教育，以及探讨传统医学辅助戒烟方法的相关证据与适用性，建立了合作基础。在本报告期内，联谊会通过此次市集及其他烟草预防外展活动，累计与600余人交流，并收集近200份科普小测试和问卷反馈。
市集还汇聚了不同领域的商家和社区伙伴，包括HK Café、Excellent Cuisine、Feast Utopia、Little Beijing、Paint Your Jewelry、Senior Advocate Services，以及俄勒冈州立大学推广部园艺大师项目（OSU Extension Master Gardener Program）等。各方提供的美食、健康资讯、手工艺术、园艺知识及生活资源，丰富了活动内容，也展现了社区合作的多样性。
热闹的现场背后，是长期筹备与持续沟通的成果。从活动构思、合作伙伴邀请、商家与专业人士联络，到服务安排、场地协调、宣传推广及现场执行，联谊会与兰苏园团队共同推进各项工作。参与机构、商家及志愿者的投入，使文化、养生与社区服务得以在同一平台上融合。
9月27日，联谊会在同一天参与了三处活动：兰苏园中秋亚洲市集、RedTail高尔夫球场举行的第21届波特兰华人高尔夫公开赛，以及Lake Oswego文化交流活动。其中，烟草
预防教育也是联谊会在
Lake Oswego活动中的外展内容之一。多地点活动的顺利开展，凝聚了组织团队、合作伙伴和志愿者的共同努力。
此次中秋亚洲市集不仅为游客带来了丰富的节日体验，也通过文化活动拓展了健康教育的覆盖面，加强了社区伙伴关系。波特兰华人联谊会感谢兰苏园及所有参与机构、商家、专业人士和志愿者的支持，共同成就了这场融合文化、健康与社区交流的中秋盛会。
Mid-Autumn Asian Marketplace Connects Communities Through Culture, Wellness, and Tobacco Prevention
CFAP and Lan Su Chinese Garden Welcome Visitors from Across the United States and Canada
The Chinese Friendship Association of Portland (CFAP), in partnership with Lan Su Chinese Garden, hosted the Mid-Autumn Asian Marketplace on September 25–27, 2026. The three-day event brought together Asian cuisine, traditional crafts, Chinese wellness experiences, and community resources, attracting local residents and visitors from across the United States and Canada.
Set within Lan Su’s classical Chinese garden, the marketplace offered an inviting setting for cultural learning and community health outreach. Visitors explored food and craft booths, participated in hands-on activities, and learned about Mid-Autumn traditions while connecting with local businesses, practitioners, and community organizations.
Traditional Chinese medicine and wellness activities were a highlight. Participating organizations included the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), TCM Clinic at Lake Oswego, Haosheng Acupuncture, Pearl Acupuncture & Wellness Center, and other local wellness providers. Practitioners, along with NUNM faculty and students, offered consultations, acupuncture, Tui Na experiences, and wellness demonstrations. These activities introduced visitors to traditional Chinese approaches to well-being and created opportunities to discuss stress management and healthy lifestyles.
CFAP integrated commercial tobacco prevention education into the marketplace through culturally tailored, in-language materials and its bilingual Educational Quiz & Survey（科普小测试和问卷）. The interactive activity encouraged one-on-one conversations about tobacco harms, prevention, and cessation resources. Bringing health education into a cultural celebration helped CFAP engage visitors who might not otherwise attend a tobacco prevention program.
The event also strengthened relationships with traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and educational institutions. These connections support continued dialogue about culturally responsive cessation education and the evidence for complementary approaches to cessation support. Across the marketplace and CFAP’s other tobacco prevention outreach events during the reporting period, the organization engaged more than 600 people and collected nearly 200 quiz and survey responses.
Additional participating businesses and community partners included HK Café, Excellent Cuisine, Feast Utopia, Little Beijing, Paint Your Jewelry, Senior Advocate Services, and the OSU Extension Master Gardener Program. Their contributions expanded the event’s offerings to include food, crafts, health information, gardening education, and practical community resources.
The marketplace’s success reflected extensive planning and coordination. CFAP and Lan Su staff collaborated on program development, partner recruitment, vendor and practitioner outreach, scheduling, site logistics, promotion, and on-site operations. Participating organizations, businesses, and volunteers contributed the expertise and support needed to bring these activities together.
On September 27, CFAP also supported the 21st Portland Chinese Golf Open at RedTail Golf Course and participated in the Lake Oswego Cultural Exchange event, where tobacco prevention education was included in its outreach. Coordinating activities at three locations required close teamwork among staff, community partners, and volunteers.
The Mid-Autumn Asian Marketplace demonstrated how cultural programming can expand access to health education, strengthen partnerships, and create meaningful community connections. CFAP thanks Lan Su Chinese Garden and all participating practitioners, organizations, businesses, and volunteers for making this celebration and outreach effort possible.
