    About our Lunar New Year news

    Latest news on Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year, and Spring Festival celebrations, traditions, and festivities as communities worldwide welcome the Year of the Dragon.

    Celebrated by over 2 billion people globally, Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival) marks one of the world's most significant cultural celebrations. This year's festivities welcome the Year of the Dragon, considered particularly auspicious in the Chinese zodiac cycle, with celebrations lasting for 15 days from the first new moon of the lunar calendar.

    Major celebrations are taking place across Asia and in diaspora communities worldwide, with cities from Singapore to San Francisco hosting spectacular parades, cultural performances, and festive markets. Traditional customs include family reunions, red envelope gift-giving (hongbao), temple visits, and elaborate feasts featuring symbolic foods like dumplings and spring rolls. Many businesses and public institutions in East and Southeast Asia close for extended holiday periods.

    Communities worldwide are embracing both traditional and modern interpretations of the festival. Local celebrations feature dragon and lion dances, lantern displays, and cultural performances, while younger generations incorporate contemporary elements through digital red packets and social media celebrations. Many cities have expanded their Lunar New Year events to promote cultural exchange and tourism, with London's Chinatown and Sydney's Harbour hosting some of the largest celebrations outside Asia.

    The festival's origins date back over 3,000 years to ancient agricultural societies in China, where it marked the end of winter and the beginning of spring planting. Over centuries, it evolved to incorporate various cultural and religious elements, including Buddhism and Taoism, while spreading throughout East and Southeast Asia. Each region has developed its own unique traditions, from Vietnam's Tết celebrations to Korea's Seollal customs.
