It could be held when the moon is quite low on the horizon
because there is an optical illusion that the moon is bigger.

I have never heard of the Moon cake festival but I'm prepared to guess that it is tied to the lunar calendar just as Easter is for the Christians and Passover is for the Jews.

What is the moon cake festival, and how is its date determined?

Maybe it's all swollen up with pride at having a festival named in its honor ☺
