...with families gathering...

Today is Chuseok, one of the most important holidays here in the nation.
The Korean thanksgiving is celebrated with families gathering to honor ancestors with a ritual called 'Charye'.


Here in the sentence, does "with families gathering to honor ancestors..." come from "with families (who are) gathering to honor ancestors..." or "with families (being) gathering to honor ancestors..." like "with a night (being) coming..." anything else?


What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
