Lunar New Year (also called Spring Festival) is one of the most widely celebrated holidays on the planet. It’s observed across many cultures including Chinese, Vietnamese (Tết), Korean (Seollal), and more, each with its own traditions, foods, and celebrations. Lunar New Year begins (with the second new moon after the Winter Solstice), which this year is February 17, launching the Year of the Fire (or Red) Horse. What Is the Lunar New Year? Lunar New Year is about renewal. Cleaning house (literally and figuratively), gathering with family and friends, honoring elders, and stepping into the new year with intention are the most common ways to celebrate. You’ll also see an abundance of red because it’s associated with good fortune and joy. Celebrations
