• About Lunar New Year:

 Lunar New Year is one of the most important celebrations of the year among East and Southeast Asian cultures, including Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean communities. Unlike the single-day Gregorian New Year, this holiday is traditionally celebrated over multiple days.

In 2026, Lunar New Year begins on February 17. Known as the Spring Festival (Chūnjié) in China, Seollal in Korea, and Tết in Vietnam, the holiday is tied to the lunar calendar. It originated as a time for feasting and honoring deities and ancestors.
