The Double Ninth Festival occurs on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. This year, it falls on Oct 11.

In Chinese tradition, the number nine is considered the highest number and is a homonym for the Chinese word "jiu," which symbolizes the auspicious wish for "longevity and good health."
