中秋節是東亞民間的一個傳統節日，起源於中國，為每年農曆的八月十五。

中秋節是東亞民間的一個傳統節日，起源於中國，為每年農曆的八月十五。按照中國的農曆，八月為秋季的第二個月，古時稱為仲秋，因此民間稱為中秋，又稱秋夕、八月節、八月半、月夕、月節，又因為這一天月亮滿圓，象徵團圓，又稱為團圓節。受中華文化的影響，中秋節也是日本、越南、朝鮮半島等地的傳統節日。

在台灣，陰曆八月十五的中秋節是個重要民俗節日，全台灣放假一天。至今，台灣一般民眾仍普遍有賞月吃月餅、柚子的習慣。而地區性的文化，如美濃地區的客家人於中秋節宰食水鴨公；宜蘭地區除了月餅，還吃一種以麵粉製成，中間抹上黑糖烘焙而成的「菜餅」；南部地區也有在中秋節吃麻糬及火鍋的習俗。

1980年代中期，台灣開始興起中秋烤肉的習慣。其來源的說法有很多種。一說廣告商影響，二說是夜間賞月時飢餓，野外烤肉便成為流行。這習慣相信是於此年代，台灣經濟起飛，生活西化，連帶影響傳統的民間習俗，嚴格講起來，台灣的中秋節烤肉的新節慶民俗應該是洋化烤肉習慣的延伸。近年來於台中市、宜蘭縣、新北市等更舉辦中秋封街烤肉。
